Fine proof from the only 1892 edition at 100 copies, signed in graphite lower left and numbered 69 in the compositor, red stamp lower left and publisher's stamp Ancourt lower right. (insolate on front and back, colors slightly faded, small scattered foxing and stains on front and back). Brown reinforcing strip on verso with small tear in upper left corner. Leaf slightly cut: Height 56.5 cm - Width 44 cm (Catalogue dimensions: 65 x 49.7cm) (Wittrock 1). Provenance : - from the sculptor and collector Édouard Saint Paul ; - by inheritance, in the family of the current vendor. Note: Painter and illustrator Henri Toulouse-Lautrec revolutionized poster art, which was booming at the end of the 19th century, with striking flat tones of color and simplified, even distorted forms inspired by Japanese artists. His style stood out from the crowd and made a lasting impression in an era brimming with advertising. Promoting Parisian nightlife and its stars, this poster quickly made the new Montmartre cabaret famous: the advertising launch was a real success.
