Entreebewijs voor de Exposition de l'Histoire de l'Affiche Illustrée georganiseerd door Galerie Bodinier before 1892

This is an anonymous illustration for an admission ticket to the "Exposition de l'Histoire de l'Affiche Illustrée" held at the Galerie Bodinier in Paris in 1892. The ticket features an image of a cherubic figure holding two masks. The drawing is likely a promotional piece for the exhibition, which celebrated the history of the illustrated poster, a popular and influential art form at the time. The use of cherubs and theatrical masks suggests the exhibition's playful and artistic nature, reflecting the spirit of the Belle Époque. This ticket provides insight into the burgeoning art scene in Paris and the role of graphic design in the late 19th century.
