Catapult yourself 140-years into the past with the dazzling 1885 show poster designed by legendary artist Jules Cheret. Designed to promote the 3-part Operetta written by Edmond Gondinet titled "Mam'zelle Gavroche", this piece does an expert job at capturing the groundbreaking induction of poster art.
Jules Chéret, widely acclaimed as the father of the modern poster, effortlessly showcases his extraordinary talent as a French painter in this exquisitely engraved stone-lithograph. A true maestro of his craft, Chéret's artistry made an indelible mark in both the theatrical and advertising domains. His groundbreaking contributions continue to be celebrated, forever etching his name in the annals of artistic excellence.
With his exceptional artistic prowess, Chéret skillfully transports you into the heart of Herve's comedic operetta.
Donning a brilliant ensemble, a ferocious female drummer exudes confidence in her choice of attire—an enticing combination of stockings and a fitted crimson corset. Beneath her charming plaid skirt, a flash of yellow crinoline adds a touch of playful flair. With grace and precision, she wields her brass symbol in one hand, while her drumming hand strikes with rhythmic expertise. As her mesmerizing performance unfolds, the onlookers below are entranced, spellbound by her captivating presence. We're afraid we can't look away!
Indulge in the artistic brilliance of Jules Cheret with this fantastic (and rare) piece of stage show history. Guaranteed to add the perfect flair of vintage to any space. Signed in plate.
