Georges Braque ( 1882 - 1963 ) was a major 20th Century French painter, collagist, printmaker, and sculptor. His most important contributions to the history of art were his alliance with Fauvism, and the role he played in the development of Cubism. Closely associated with his colleague Pablo Picasso, their respective Cubist works were indistinguishable for many years. Working closely together, thus the invention of The Cubist Style was a joint effort between Braque and Picasso. Artworks by Braque are included in the collections of many of the world's most prestigious museums.

The venerable famous printing house of Imprimerie Mourlot Paris was founded in 1852 by the Mourlot family. It is known worldwide for its fine art lithograph printing, and one of their most important contributions was to be the art poster. Mourlot became the place where posters were prepared and produced as works of art in their own right.

The 1930's marked the beginning of an important and long lasting collaboration between Mourlot and The French National Museums. An example of this same exhibition poster is held in the permanent archive collection of The Galleria Museum in Paris, now known as The Palias Galliera located in the 16th Arrondissement of Paris.
