"Poster advertising the Phono Cinema Theatre for the Universal Exhibition" is a notable work by French artist François Flameng, created in the context of the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle (World's Fair). This lithographic poster was designed to promote the Phono-Cinéma-Théâtre, an innovative attraction at the exposition that combined the emerging technologies of recorded sound and moving pictures to present a novel cinematic experience. The Phono-Cinéma-Théâtre featured synchronized sound films, which were a precursor to the "talkies" that would revolutionize the film industry in the late 1920s.

François Flameng (1856–1923) was an accomplished academic painter and illustrator, known for his historical and genre scenes, as well as for his work in the realm of decorative arts. His poster for the Phono-Cinéma-Théâtre reflects the Art Nouveau style that was prevalent at the turn of the 20th century, characterized by its elegant lines, stylized forms, and the integration of lettering with the overall design. The poster not only served as an advertisement but also as an artistic representation of the technological marvels and cultural sophistication that the Universal Exhibition sought to embody.

The Phono-Cinéma-Théâtre was one of the first instances where audiences could experience synchronized sound films, and it showcased a variety of performances, including opera, theatre, and dance. The poster by Flameng is significant both as a piece of graphic design and as a historical document that captures the excitement and innovation of the era. It is emblematic of the period's enthusiasm for progress and the arts, as well as the intersection of art and technology that was a hallmark of the Universal Exhibition.
