This lithographic poster illustrates Aristide Bruant who was a famous performer and cabaret owner in Paris at the turn of the 20th century. Lautrec, seizing on Bruant's trademark costume of a wide-brimmed hat, cape and red scarf, designed a sparse yet iconic image that promoted both the performer and his business. This particular poster was designed with the upper left corner blank so it could be reused for different engagements. Use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the glass. Tru Vue recommends using a micro-fiber cloth. Spray a small amount of ammonia-free cleaner onto the cloth. Spraying on the cloth will prevent overspray. Press the cloth against the glass and clean in round, circular motions. Never spray directly onto the glass- the cleaner could leak into the frame and damage the image Archival Mat Board Also known as conservation mat board, this is the highest-quality paper matting material available. It is constructed of 100% acid- and lignin-free alpha-cellulose (wood pulp) and treated to resist deterioration and discoloration for up to 300 years. Archival-safe Foam Core Foam core is used to cushion the image in its frame. Ours is constructed of acid-and lignin-free face paper layered atop an extruded polystyrene core for superior resistance to temperature changes and humidity.
