Pompeii - XIX Century Exhibition Poster

This item is a large-format, horizontally oriented commemorative exhibition poster. The artwork features an architectural drawing or lithographic-style print of the ruins of Pompeii, rendered in a muted monochrome blue-grey or sepia-toned ink on a cream-colored paper ground. The central illustration depicts complex classical Roman structures, including facades with pediments, columns, and internal room details, likely based on 19th-century archaeological reconstructions. The word 'Pompeii' is prominently inscribed in the upper left corner in an elegant, italicized serif font. Along the bottom margin, text indicates the subject matter and an exhibition location, specifically citing the 'ECOLE DES BEAUX-ARTS, PARIS' and referencing a California venue, suggesting this is a modern reproduction or promotional poster for an art exhibition (likely from the late 20th century). The piece is housed in a simple, thin metallic frame, possibly gold or silver-toned with a slight patina. The condition appears fair to good; there is visible rippling or 'cockling' of the paper inside the frame, indicating exposure to humidity or a lack of proper archival mounting. A barcode or QR sticker is present in the bottom right corner, suggesting recent retail or inventory handling.
