Poster for the Divan Japonais
All Resolutions
Description:
Belle Époque poster advertising the Divan Japonais and depicting the interior of the venue. In the foreground, Lautrec portrays two acquaintances: the dancer Jane Avril in a striking black dress and the art critic Édouard Dujardin. The silhouette of singer Yvette Guilbert performing on stage appears in the background, identifiable by her signature long black gloves.
Each lithograph reproduced in this book is authenticated by a blind stamp on the page, modeled on an original drawing by Jules Chéret.
The caption reads in the original French: Affiche pour le concert Divan Japonais.
