What it is
A colour lithograph by Jules Chéret for the Concert des Ambassadeurs, dated 1881 and printed at Chéret's own press. Broido catalogues it as no. 197, in an address variant.
Why it matters
The Ambassadeurs was a summer café-concert on the Champs-Élysées, and its season opened on Chéret's sheets.
What to notice
The BnF holds this as an address variant, the same design reprinted with new lettering.
For one decade, the street was the gallery.
