Palais de Glace Champs-Elysees
1897
Step into the Belle Époque with this lively 1897 poster advertising the Palais de Glace, a trendy ice skating rink on the Champs-Élysées. A fashionable woman in a billowing white dress and enormous hat takes center stage, looking ready to glide across the ice, while a dapper gentleman in a top hat watches from behind. The bold red lettering and flat, graphic style are classic hallmarks of the Art Nouveau poster craze that swept through Paris, turning commercial advertising into high art.
