Description

This listing is for a framed vintage reproduction print of the iconic French Art Nouveau poster designed by Jules Chéret (1836–1932). The artwork, originally created in 1892, advertises Émile Reynaud's groundbreaking "Pantomimes Lumineuses" (Luminous Pantomimes) at the Musée Grévin in Paris, which are considered the world's first animated films publicly screened to an audience, predating the Lumière brothers' cinematograph by three years.
