What it is
A colour lithograph by Jules Chéret for "Les Tziganes" at the Folies-Bergère, signed and dated 74 and printed at Chéret's own press. Broido catalogues it as no. 70.
Why it matters
The Folies-Bergère booked touring orchestras and novelty acts, and Chéret announced each one.
What to notice
Signed "74" in the stone, and wider than it is tall, an uncommon shape for Chéret.
For one decade, the street was the gallery.
