What it is
A colour lithograph by Ferdinand Polack, lithographed by V. Guillet, for La Feria, café-restaurant and concert on the ground floor of the Pavillon Royal d'Espagne at the 1900 Exposition, printed by Paul Dupont, Paris.
Why it matters
National pavilions let their ground floors to concessions, and the concessions advertised on their own account.
What to notice
Food and music are promised in one line of lettering.
Paris in 1900 asked the poster to sell a whole world fair.
