What it is
A colour lithograph poster by Jules Chéret for "Les Almées" at the Folies-Bergère, published in 1874 and printed at Chéret's own press. The BnF files it under dance and cafés-concerts.
Why it matters
Before he joined Chaix, Chéret ran his own lithographic press in Paris; this is an early sheet from it.
What to notice
The imprint is Chéret's own: designer and printer were the same man.
For one decade, the street was the gallery.
