date and length fine, many good sources. I am not so happy with the hook, don't find April 1894 in the article, nor "one of the first" in the source, perhaps phrase something about the designer of the poster? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:01, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

"April 1894" is in the caption to the poster, but I agree that the article does not say this was "one of the first". How about ALT1 below? I have tweaked the article to closely match this hook, which is backed up by the source cited. Aymatth2 (talk) 13:00, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

• ALT1 ... that the April 1894 Salon des Cent exhibition (poster shown) was devoted to the work of Eugène Grasset?
