"In 1895 lithography was the subject of a centennial exhibition,
for which d'Alesi did a promotional poster. He chose a familiar theme,
that of a smartly dressed lady looking at prints, but he drew more
attention than usual to the prints themselves, giving enough detail
so that we can identify the styles. The lady is a customer at an outdoor
print booth, and one of the prints she is admiring include a large
poster by Cheret. He obviously thought it most likely to draw crowds
to the exhibition…The slightly sentimental quality of this poster
suits the vernacular of this period. The poster was well enough admired
to be included in the Maitre de l'Affiche series in 1897" (Wolfe
