Date Sold 11/10/2019Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A Linenbacked French Advertising Poster (measures 34" x 96 1/4" [86 x 244 cm]) (Learn More) Oeuvres de Rabelais (literally translates to "Works by Rabelais"), the circa 1885 French advertising poster promoting the purchase of a series of books by author Francois Rabelais (a French writer during the Renaissance) and illustrated by Albert Robida. The books were available via the mail or they could be found at newsstands and book stores. Artist: Jules Cheret Important Added Info: Note that at some point, surely many decades ago, and perhaps even a century ago, someone mounted this poster on to a thin linen with a slight excess on the top and bottom. It might have been in nice condition when this was done, but the years have not been kind to this poster. It was very roughly handled and it also came into contact with water and is now creased and stained throughout, both in the poster itself and in the thin linen. It also has many defects around the edges. Obviously a talented restorer could "rescue" this poster, but that would certainly be expensive, so bear this in mind (and look at our super-sized image) before bidding on this really cool poster! Note that this poster that is backed on very old linen needs to be shipped in an oversized tube, and it can't be combined with any items in this set of auctions because the thickness of the old linen would surely damage any posters rolled in with it. So please bear in mind that this poster backed on very old linen must be sent in an OVERSIZED tube, and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: poor to fair. As noted above, the poster has many, many defects. As also is noted, it can certainly be "rescued" by a talented restorer, but PLEASE do not bid on this poster unless you accept its defects and the cost of restoration.
