The record credits this color lithograph to Jean Carré and dates it to 1896 under the title *Outing for May*. The caption information is old and unverified, so the poster's exact purpose, whether it promoted a publication, an event or a product, is not established here. It belongs to the flourishing of French color lithography in the 1890s, when illustrated posters brought bright, flat colors and bold figures to city streets to catch the eye of passersby. Looking at it today shows how quickly the medium moved from commercial advertising into the wider field of graphic design.
