What it is
A colour lithograph for the Casino de Paris announcing Emilienne d'Alençon "et ses ânes savants", dated 1891 by the BnF and printed by Camis, Paris. The designer is unidentified.
Why it matters
The music halls billed animal acts beside their stars, and here the star brought the animals.
What to notice
"Ânes savants": learned donkeys, on the bill in the lettering.
For one decade, the street was the gallery.
