EDMOND A. ROCHER (1873-?) SALON DES CENT. 1895. 23 3/8x16 inches, 59 1/2x40 1/2 cm. Bourgerie & Cie, Paris. Condition B: restored losses and overpainting in corners and right image, along horizontal fold; repaired tears, creases and restoration at edges and along fold; stamp in lower image. As with Lapierre, little is known about Rocher. Yet he, too, was commissioned by Deschamps in 1895 to design a poster promoting an upcoming exhibition. The rigid design is monochromatic and although it contains the prerequisite floral decoration, it seems more like a large illustration than a poster. Reims 995, DFP-II 756, Salon des Cent 14 (var), Gold 194.
