What it is
A poster by F. Hugo d'Alési for the Maréorama at the Exposition Universelle de 1900, on the Champ de Mars opposite the station, issued as an "affiche simili-aquarelle" by the Ateliers Hugo d'Alési, place Pigalle.
Why it matters
The Ateliers Hugo d'Alési, place Pigalle, issued it themselves, so the painter's studio was also the poster's publisher.
What to notice
The imprint names a watercolour-effect print, d'Alési's own studio speciality.
Paris in 1900 asked the poster to sell a whole world fair.
