Item Details

A large framed antique French poster of Claudine, the main character of a series of novels by the author Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette about a young girl who leaves her small town for a new life in Paris.
Here we see Claudine, staring us down with a telling smirk.
This rare example dates to c. 1902.


The artist is L. Lucien Faure. An illustrator at the turn of the 20th century, he created both posters and other types of illustrations.
Backed on linen.


Framed in simple black wooden frame behind plexiglas.


A Little History: The author of the Claudine series was advertised as ‘Willy’, a pen name for author Henry Gaulthier-Villars. His wife, Colette, was the actual author of the series and years later would take his estate to court to own the publishing rights to the series.
