A woman in golden yellow dress and crimson bodice holds a black fan against the backdrop of Nice's winter carnival. Above her, costumed figures dance with banners and flowers, while below, circular vignettes showcase the city's casino and municipal buildings. Palm trees frame the composition, emphasising the Mediterranean warmth that drew visitors to the French Riviera even in winter.

Designed by Jules Ch�ret in 1890, this lithograph was printed by Chaix in Paris as part of the promotional campaign that established Nice as Europe's premier winter resort. Ch�ret, known as the father of the modern poster, pioneered the three-stone lithographic process that allowed for these rich, saturated colours. The poster advertises the season's festivities: syndicate festivals, carnival parades, flower battles, and spring celebrations.

This work exemplifies the Belle �poque spirit that transformed travel marketing from simple announcements into celebrations of place. The woman's confident pose and the carnival's joyous energy reflect the new freedoms and optimism of 1890s France.

Printed as an archival fine art reproduction on 200gsm Enhanced Matte paper. The composition appeals to collectors of art nouveau design and those drawn to the golden age of French Riviera travel.
