RENÉ PÉAN (1875-1945) PARIS - ST. LAZARE À LONDRES. Circa 1925. 41 1/4x28 1/2 inches, 104 3/4x72 1/2 cm. Cornille & Serre, Paris. Condition B+: repaired tears, replaced losses and overpainting in margins; creases and abrasions in upper image. René Péan was a student and close follower of Chéret. They worked together at the Chaix printing firm and many of Péan's early posters bear a striking resemblance to Chéret's work in drawing style, coloring and even lettering. Péan created posters for varied clients, ranging from cabaret and theater to tourism and department stores. He designed a number of posters for travel from Paris to London which incorporated both the French Railway and the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway.
