D'APRÉS PAL (JEAN DE PALÉOLOGUE, 1860-1942) ARISTA. 32 1/2x23 3/4 inches, 83x60 cm. F. Levée, Paris. Condition B+: repaired tears, creases and minor staining in margins and image; minor restores losses at edges. Japan. A beautiful allegory of the natural springs that produce Arista purified water, is sitting holding a bottle of the water in her hand, while a crowd of fashionable people. [French men and women of all classes] clamor for a glass. Unlike the majority of Pal's posters, this image features men as prominently as women. This is the smaller version, which bears minor differences from the larger format, hence the signature "d'apres Pal."
