{"product_id":"ap_00809","title":"La france recevant les peuples a l'exposition universelle de Paris 1889","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"274\" data-end=\"515\"\u003eThis powerful and allegorical original 1889 poster by E. Conrad was created for the celebrated Exposition Universelle de Paris, marking a high point in 19th-century France’s embrace of globalism, diplomacy, and artistic grandeur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"517\" data-end=\"940\"\u003eAt the center of the composition stands a personification of France, rendered in classical robes, hand outstretched in a welcoming gesture to representatives from around the globe — a richly dressed procession that includes figures symbolizing various cultures, ethnicities, and nations. Their vibrant costumes underscore the spirit of international cooperation and cultural exchange that defined the 1889 World’s Fair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"942\" data-end=\"1314\"\u003eIn the background looms the newly unveiled Eiffel Tower, a feat of engineering that came to symbolize not only the Exposition but also the innovative spirit of modern France. Surrounding it, the meticulously illustrated grounds of the exposition stretch out with monumental pavilions, domes, and gardens, placing the viewer directly in the grandeur of the fair itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1316\" data-end=\"1515\"\u003eThe poster celebrates France’s position as a cultural and political host to the world, portraying the nation as dignified, enlightened, and generous — a beacon to “les peuples” of all continents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1517\" data-end=\"1869\"\u003eBoth visually compelling and ideologically rich, this lithograph is a quintessential example of Belle Époque visual culture, embodying the optimism and pageantry of one of the most iconic World’s Fairs in history. It’s a rare and significant artifact for collectors of historical ephemera, 19th-century art, or World’s Fair memorabilia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExhibition - Paris - Eiffel Tower\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood condition, two tears on the edges\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Conrad E.","offers":[{"title":"57 x 69 \/ A-","offer_id":42608197566649,"sku":null,"price":750.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/9275\/3081\/files\/AP_00809Insta2.jpg?v=1756314737","url":"https:\/\/galerie1881.fr\/en\/products\/ap_00809","provider":"Galerie 1881","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
