7th Exhibition of the Salon des 100
1894
Step into the bustling Parisian art scene of 1894 with this lively poster advertising the 7th exhibition of the 'Salon des Cent' (Salon of the 100). It humorously captures two very different types of art lovers: a grumpy-looking bohemian with a bright red scarf in the foreground, and a dandy in a top hat scrutinizing the walls with a monocle behind him. This gallery at 31 Rue Bonaparte was a famous hub for Symbolist and Art Nouveau artists, and as the poster cheerfully notes at the bottom, entry cost a mere 1 Franc!
