This is an ORIGINAL FIRST PRINTING of this poster by Jules Cheret. One of the last of the 40-some posters Chéret created for the Hippodrome between 1878 and 1888 and one of the most impactful. The gesture of the Russian general Skoboleff on his great white horse supplies plenty of drama, while the flag-bearer brings needed verticality to the overall composition. Some specimens of this image are signed at the left while others, as with many of Chérets posters from this period, are unsigned. It is in A- condition (slight tears at folds and edges) and measures approximately 34 x 48 1/4 inches. Poster has been laid on linen for preservation. Note: This is NOT a reproduction.
