EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Affiche pour le roman de M. Émile Zola, 'la Terre'" and created by the renowned French artist Jules Cheret in 1897, showcases a poignant scene from Émile Zola's novel of the same name. The image, published by Imprimerie Chaix in Paris, depicts an elderly farmer, dressed in tattered clothing and with a weathered, lined face, standing in a barren, rocky field. The man's expression conveys a sense of hardship and toil, as he gazes off into the distance, perhaps contemplating the challenges of farming life during the Second Empire in France. The use of bold, colorful lettering in the lower case, with the title of the novel and the author's name prominently displayed, adds to the overall impact of the poster. The intricate detail and masterful use of lithography techniques by Cheret make this a stunning example of the Maitres de l'Affiche movement, and a valuable addition to any collection of heritage art, literature, or agricultural imagery. This print, now part of the Wallach Division Picture Collection at the New York Public Library, is a testament to the enduring legacy of both Cheret and Zola, and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of France during the late 19th century.
