About the Item

This striking original French poster from circa 1900, titled Cœur de Française, was created to promote a performance by Jean Aubry, a figure evoking the refined and expressive world of early 20th-century French theater. Designed in a tall, narrow format typical of theatrical affiches of the era, the composition features a full-length portrait of Aubry, rendered in expressive linework and warm tones. Dressed in a long amber overcoat, cane and hat in hand, and a rolled document under his arm, he stands against a flat yellow background — a visual spotlight that sets him apart and intensifies his quiet, introspective expression. The poster's minimalist design places all emphasis on the actor’s bearing and character, while bold red typography at top and bottom announces the title Cœur de Française and the performer’s name, Jean Aubry. This lithograph was printed by Louis Galice in Paris, a prominent printer known for high-quality posters during the Belle Époque. Galice’s workshop produced works for many theaters, cabarets, and performers of the time, contributing significantly to the golden age of French poster art. Today, this piece stands as a beautiful testament to the era’s cultural sophistication — a mix of graphic restraint and emotional depth that defined turn-of-the-century French visual culture.
