Additional Details: This original lithograph by Caran d’Ache, titled Exposition Russe, is a first printing from Das Moderne Plakat (The Modern Poster), the seminal 1897 compendium edited by Edmund Sonsel and printed by Verlag von Gerhard Kuhtmann, Dresden. Caran d’Ache (pseudonym of Emmanuel Poiré), a satirical illustrator and pioneering cartoonist, brings his unmistakable wit and visual economy to this composition created for the Russian Exhibition. With strong graphic contrasts and an almost theatrical layout, the poster highlights d’Ache’s ability to convey narrative and national identity with simplicity and humor. As part of Das Moderne Plakat, this print stands among the earliest examples of the modern poster movement, making it both historically and aesthetically significant for collectors of early graphic design and visual culture.
