Commissioned in 1896 as a promotional poster for the French literary journal La Plume, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s 'Irish and American Bar, rue Royale' captures the bohemian energy of fin-de-siècle Paris. The composition centers on Ralph, the celebrated barman of the rue Royale establishment, rendered with Toulouse-Lautrec's signature graphic economy and sharp psychological insight. This iconic Post-Impressionist work exemplifies the artist's mastery of lithography, utilizing bold silhouettes and a sophisticated, muted palette to define the modern leisure class. To preserve the historical integrity and original proportions of this masterpiece, every format—including our premium canvas—is finished with a clean white gallery border that floats the artwork elegantly without cropping, offering a refined, gallery-ready presentation.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
Would you like a different border width, a borderless full-bleed version, or any other adjustment? Just let us know within 24 hours of ordering and we'll tailor it for you at no extra cost.
