This poster shows a woman in a big, fancy hat with a feathered crown. Behind her, there’s a sketchy cityscape with buildings and a small face peeking out a window. The text lists plays and actors, plus ads for a magazine called *Revue Encyclopédique*. The artist used bold black lines on light brown paper, giving it a rough, sketchy feel. The hat looks almost like a crown, and the cityscape is simplified into sharp, uneven shapes. Want to see more work like this? Check out lithography.
