Chrysanthemums (mums) are colorful fall-blooming flowers native to Asia. They’re used in gardens, teas, and natural insecticides. In Japan, they symbolize longevity; in Europe, they’re linked to remembrance. The Jardin des Serres d’Auteuil at Porte d’Auteuil, run by the Mairie de Paris, has long hosted botanical and cultural events. In the 1980s, it featured seasonal flower displays and exhibitions,

Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the charm.

These posters are sent as unframed. They will be rolled up and delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
