In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, ANTIQUES ROADSHOW host Mark L. Walberg
and appraiser Nicholas Lowry peruse the world's largest collection
of posters by French lithographer Jules Cheret, best known for his
colorful advertisements for the Moulin Rouge. At the Midwest
Airlines Center, appraisers get a kick out of the objects arrayed
for their evaluation, including a charming 1772 needlework sampler
crafted by the youngster who would become renowned clockmaker Aaron
Willard's wife; a lovely circa 1890 Japanese bronze sculpture of a
peasant woman and baby; and a ruby and diamond bracelet, purchased
by the owner's great-grandmother - a German countess - from
Austria's Empress Eugenie in the 1890s, with an auction estimate of
$30,000 to $35,000.
