Little is known about George Lefèvre who, based on his five known posters, worked in Caen, in the heart of Normandy, primarily for the local printing house Boisselet. Not to be confused with Lucien Lefèvre, a fellow designer and a disciple of Chéret, Georges Lefèvre invariably represented fashionable young women in a feathered hats and stylish turn-of-the-century dresses.
