This is how you celebrate a second anniversary on Rittenhouse Square.

To commemorate two years on the historic, high-end retail corridor, Lisa M. Reisman et Cie, the square’s extensive print gallery and boutique, is opening an exhibit blending design and original research on Wednesday June 17th. And there’s going to be a party.

The exhibit, called La Fête du Savon, will present Art Nouveau and Art Déco chromolithographic labels created in Fin-de-Siècle France for the soap and perfume industries, dating back to late 19th and early 20th centuries. The exhibit explores the coquettish allure of vintage French commercial art from this early stage of graphic design history, and the culture that created a demand for such imagery.

To celebrate the exhibit opening, Lisa M. Reisman et Cie is holding a reception from 6-9 p.m on June 17th. Summer punch and pastries will be served at the free and open event. La Fête du Savon will be on display at the gallery through July 31st. A closing event will be scheduled in late July.

All of the displayed works will be accompanied by interpretive curatorial text and be available for purchase. Additionally, four specially designed, ready to frame exhibition posters will be available for $20 each. For more information, call 215-735-2781 or visit www.lisart.com.
