Gallerie Georges Petit | Maitre de L’Affiche: Plate #226

This artwork is from Les Maitres de L’Affiche series; miniature versions of outstanding stone lithograph artworks of the most important advertising posters by the finest artists. “Realier-Dumas was a native Parisian… In his poster work, which is rather infrequent and rare, he adopted a technique, of simple lines, flat colours, and economy of design. Maindron said of him that he seems to derive his inspiration from Greek vases; and indeed, (Galerie Georges Petit) manifests a certain classic austerity that could well be so described” (Wine Spectator, 38)
