What it is
A colour lithograph by Jules Chéret for the Aux Buttes Chaumont store, announcing toys and New Year gifts.
Why it matters
The BnF catalogues it under shops and toys, Broido 704, printed at the Chaix branch Chéret ran as his own.
What to notice
The lettering reads Aux Buttes Chaumont, Jouets, objets pour étrennes.
Étrennes were the January gifts of a Paris childhood, and the poster went up before them.
