Three Pieces of Wall Art Including Le Frou Frou
This lot comprises three pieces of wall art, led by a printed poster advertising Le Frou-Frou, a French illustrated humorous journal. The poster is printed in blue and white and features a stylised female dancer, with the legend “Demandez partout”, “20 cts le numéro” and “20 pages au moins chaque samedi”. The lot also includes a large framed print in a dark wood-effect frame, showing a railway station interior beneath a glazed iron roof with a steam locomotive and passengers on the platform. A smaller print in a gilt frame shows a colourful townscape with arched structures and a bridge. Both framed prints are glazed and mounted behind card surrounds.
Condition and Collector Appeal
No detailed condition report has been provided for this lot, so the condition of the frames, glazing, mounts and poster cannot be confirmed here. Prospective bidders are advised to request further information or additional images before bidding. The Le Frou-Frou poster reflects the popular illustrated press of the Belle Epoque period, which may appeal to collectors of French graphic design and advertising ephemera. The grouping of three pieces also offers an easy route to decorating a hallway, study or dining room with mixed period and railway-themed wall art.
