| Additional Information: | Bring bold color and dramatic movement to your collection with this original French Fixine advertising poster by artist Jean Rousseau, a striking antique lithograph promoting Fixine household dye (Teinture Ménagère Pratique). Printed by Daude Frères, this vibrant poster captures the excitement and spectacle of the bullring through classic early 20th‑century French poster design. The dynamic scene features a dramatic bullfight in progress, with a matador skillfully guiding a powerful black bull across the arena with a sweeping red cape. Spectators fill the stands beneath the warm tones of a southern European town, while the bold title “Fixine – Sauveterre‑La‑Lémance” crowns the composition. Rousseau’s strong color palette and clean graphic lines create a lively, theatrical image that immediately commands attention. Advertising posters like this were widely used in France to promote household products, often incorporating memorable imagery and cultural themes to make the brand recognizable. The dramatic bullfighting scene combined with vivid colors makes this piece a standout example of classic French commercial poster art. This original antique lithograph has been professionally archivally mounted on linen and remains in excellent, pristine condition with exceptionally sharp colors. A period tax stamp appears on the letter “T” in “Teinture,” an interesting historical detail reflecting the taxation of printed advertising materials at the time. Printed by Daude Frères, the poster displays the craftsmanship and quality typical of French lithographic printing of the era. It is ready to frame and makes a striking display piece for collectors of French posters, advertising art, bullfighting imagery, and vintage graphic design. This is an original vintage poster — not a reproduction. Authenticity & Guarantee |
