Conditions Explained:
It is important to remember that you are buying an original vintage fine art poster an not a reproduction of any kind. We do not use terms like “mint” or “near mint” condition, as they are highly subjective. Each of our pieces is photographed in high quality so you can zoom in and view the poster in greater detail. In addition we use the following IVPDA (International Vintage Poster Dealers Association) approved condition rating system:
"A" Condition: the poster is in fine condition. The colours are fresh and there is no paper loss. If there is a slight tear, or folds, it is very unobtrusive.
"B" Condition: the poster is in good condition. The colours are acceptable. While slight paper loss maybe evident, it does not distract from the image. Restoration, if any, is not immediately apparent.
"C" Condition: the poster is in fair condition. Colours are faded, and there are signs of more extensive restoration. Existing folds are more visible, and possibly minor paper loss.
We further use '+' or '-' to more precisely describe the condition of a particular item (e.g.: B+). On top of this, we describe any “condition particularities” for individual pieces on its product page.
We apply the above condition rating system to all our posters and prints. If you have additional questions regarding our piece’s condition, we invite you to submit any inquiries.

In the summertime many French cities and towns hold annual Fêtes or Celebrations, many with traditions dating back a hundred years or more. The Fête de Neuilly, also known as the Fête à Neu-Neu, was established by Napoleon I in 1815, in the Parisian suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine.
This poster, created by Ferdinand Mifliez (aka Misti) advertises the Fête de Neuilly of 1909. Misti was an accomplished painter who exhibited regularly in Paris salons, but he was most proud of his poster designs. Throughout the 1890s his posters all bear the imprint ''Affiches Misti.'' Some of his largest clients were department stores, bicycle companies and, after 1900, La Fête de Neuilly. His posters often featured beautiful, stylish women. Misti is often compared to both Jules Chéret, for the lightness and grace of his touch, and to Leonetto Cappiello, for his use of bold strokes and outlines. He is considered one of the greatest artists of his day.
The 1909 Fête de Neuilly program included the grand walk of torches on June 12th, the handing out of prizes on June 20th, a Venetian feast and fireworks on July 1st, the ability to see l'Avenue de Nuilly lit up by real electric lights on July 12th, and to end it all a grand public ball on July 14th.
