About The Poster:
This wonderful poster, by the famed artist Dudley Hardy, was printed by Imprimerie Chaix in Paris.
"The prolific English artist Dudley Hardy is best known for his work for publications and the theatre, both as an illustrator and posterist. His work for commercial firms is considerably rarer. And yet his contribution to poster art is considerable: 'He really introduced the colour poster to England…His posters are strongly derivative of Cheret's. Like Cheret, he appreciated the advertising value of sex-appeal and his recurring subjects are legs, tutu's, frou-frous, and legs again. The range of expression and antic is between a frisky insousance and a brassier glamour' (Hillier p.97)" (Rennert, PAI-XXIX, 397)
