Folies bergere Le Miroir by Jules Cheret 1894 for Les Affiches Illustrees

FOLIES-BERGÈRE – LE MIROIR — Jules Chéret

Original stone-lithograph plate printed circa 1896 at Imprimerie Chaix (Paris) for Les Affiches Illustrées. This reduced-format lithograph for Jules Chéret’s exuberant poster for the Folies-Bergère music hall, advertising Le Miroir, one of its popular Belle Époque spectacles.

The Folies-Bergère was at the center of Parisian nightlife in the late 19th century, famous for its lavish revues, dancers, acrobats, and theatrical innovations. Le Miroir was among the celebrated productions of the 1890s, staged with elaborate sets and reflected effects that dazzled contemporary audiences. Chéret’s design captures this atmosphere of festivity, with lively figures, flowing ribbons, and radiant color—a hallmark of the artist who became known as the “father of the modern poster.”

Les Affiches Illustrées (1896–1899) was one of the first publications dedicated exclusively to poster art, issued in small runs for collectors. Produced at Chaix under Chéret’s direction, each plate was a stone-lithograph reduction of a major affiche, printed on fine paper and offered in a more practical format than the large street posters. Today, these plates remain highly collectible as authentic examples of Belle Époque lithography.

ALCAZAR D’ÉTÉ – KANJAROWA — Jules Chéret

Original stone-lithograph plate printed circa 1896 at Imprimerie Chaix (Paris) for Les Affiches Illustrées. This reduced-format lithograph reproduces Jules Chéret’s poster for the Alcazar d’Été music hall, advertising the celebrated dancer Kanjarowa, a featured attraction on the Paris stage during the Belle Époque.

The Alcazar d’Été was one of Paris’s most fashionable summer cafés-concerts, located on the Champs-Élysées. Known for its variety shows, operettas, and star performers, the venue epitomized Parisian entertainment culture in the 1890s. Kanjarowa, a Russian dancer, was among the international artists who captivated Paris audiences with exotic and lively performances. Chéret’s poster captures this spirit with his signature style: swirling ribbons, animated movement, and vivid color that transformed advertising into art.

Les Affiches Illustrées (1896–1899) was one of the first publications devoted entirely to poster art, issued in small editions for collectors. Published under Chéret’s artistic direction at the Chaix atelier, each plate was a stone-lithograph reduction of a major affiche, printed on fine paper. These works, smaller than the full-size street posters but identical in technique, allowed subscribers to collect and enjoy the finest examples of Belle Époque poster design.

OLYMPIA – ANCIENNES MONTAGNES RUSSES — Jules Chéret

Original stone-lithograph plate printed circa 1896 at Imprimerie Chaix (Paris) for Les Affiches Illustrées. This reduced-format lithograph for Jules Chéret’s vibrant poster for the Olympia music hall, promoting the “Anciennes Montagnes Russes” (Old Russian Mountains), a thrilling amusement attraction presented alongside the venue’s popular entertainments.

The Olympia, founded in 1888 by Joseph Oller (co-founder of the Moulin Rouge), quickly became one of the premier music halls of Paris. In addition to musical revues and stage spectacles, it offered fairground-style amusements such as the “Russian Mountains”—an early form of roller coaster imported from Russia and a popular novelty of the late 19th century. Chéret’s lively composition reflects this spirit of excitement and spectacle: joyous figures in motion, flowing banners, and dynamic color that convey both speed and festivity.

Les Affiches Illustrées (1896–1899) was one of the first publications devoted to poster art, issued in small runs for collectors. Produced under Chéret’s artistic supervision at the Chaix atelier, each plate was a reduced-format stone lithograph of a major affiche, printed on fine paper for subscribers. These works, smaller than the street posters but identical in technique, brought the new art of the poster into the hands of collectors and art lovers.
