A red-haired woman in a pale dress sits among the white flower-heads of a snowball bush, a viburnum, against a soft green ground, her hair and the flowers drawn in the same gentle curve. Berthon made the colour lithograph around 1900 as a decorative panel, one of the flower-and-maiden prints he published in the manner of Grasset, his teacher, and it was sold to be framed rather than posted. The impression reproduced belongs to the Cleveland Museum of Art.
This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.
Where it works

Framing. Exhibition posters sit best in a slim black frame with no mat — the typeset margin is the mat.
