JULES CHERET (1836-1932) EXPOSTION INTENATIONALE DE LYON. 1913. 403/4x283/4 inches. Chaix, Paris. Condition B+: restoration and overpainting along sharp vertical and horizontal tears; repaired tears, overpainting and creases in margins. This is one of Cheret's last posters. He was nearly 70 years old, almost blind, and living in Nice, at the time he designed it. Yet despite his age and failing eyesight, Cheret has recaptured the spirit of his classic work, creating yet another tour-de-force lithograph. Here, his traditional colors are in full bloom as is a charming, eternally young "Cherette", embracing the emblematic statue of the Rhone (the river that runs through Lyon). Broido no. 524.
