Les Maîtres de l’Affiche — Palais de Glace (Chéret)
Jules Chéret · Les Maîtres de l’Affiche, plate series (vol. 5, plate 237), 1900
What it is
A Chéret skating-rink advertisement, republished as one of the 256 plates in Les Maîtres de l’Affiche.
Why it matters
The anthology Chéret himself curated (1895–1900), printed at Imprimerie Chaix, is this wing’s spine — a ready-made, fully public-domain launch collection with its own provenance built in.
What to notice
Chéret’s signature whirl of skirts and motion, printed at postcard-plate scale rather than full poster size.
The canon, in miniature.
