This tall chromolithograph advertises a Paris exhibition of Jan Styka's painting *The Martyrdom of Christians in Nero's Palace*, shown at the Palais de Glace on the Champs-Élysées. Styka, a Polish painter, was known for large, crowded scenes of religious and historical subjects that were built for public display rather than private walls. The poster's narrow, vertical format and bold color reflect the period's commercial lithography, when exhibition posters were designed to draw crowds along busy Paris streets. The record also notes that it was a gift from Wanda Styka, linking the piece to the painter's family.
