What it is
A colour lithograph by Jules Chéret for Lidia at the Alcazar d'Été, signed J. Chéret 95 and printed at Chaix (ateliers Chéret). Broido catalogues it as no. 174.
Why it matters
The Alcazar d'Été was the summer garden hall on the Champs-Élysées, and its posters changed with each season's bill.
What to notice
The signature and year sit in the stone: J. Chéret 95.
For one decade, the street was the gallery.
