EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A la Place Clichy, c. 1891" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Paris during the late 19th century. The artwork, a colour lithograph on paper by Eugene Grasset, showcases his exceptional talent as an artist and graphic designer. The image depicts a vibrant scene at Place Clichy, where a French department store proudly advertises itself as "La Premiere Maison du Monde pour ses Importations Orientales" (The First House in the World for Oriental Imports). The poster exudes exoticism and colonial charm with its depiction of camels carrying rugs and merchandise from North Africa. Intricate details such as the pith helmet worn by one of the figures and the cane used by another add to the authenticity of this belle époque era. The art nouveau style is evident in the graphics and typography used throughout the advertisement. This print transports us to a time when Paris was at its peak as a center for art, culture, and commerce. It serves as a reminder of how trade routes connected different parts of the world even centuries ago. Grasset's work captures both nostalgia for this period in history and admiration for diverse cultures. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded that art has always been intertwined with commercial endeavors but also has immense power to transport us through time and evoke emotions that transcend mere advertising purposes.
