    Cigale, Theatre de l’Opera-Comique
    Artist: Maurice Leloir
    Date: 1904

    In this elegant 1904 poster for the French ballet Cigale, artist Maurice Leloir captures the frigid fate of one of the story’s central figures with remarkable sensitivity. The ballet, written by Henri Cain and set to music by the celebrated composer Jules Massenet, was performed at the Théâtre de l’Opéra-Comique in Paris. Leloir’s lithograph was printed by Imp. Devambez, one of the foremost Parisian art printers of the early 20th century. The poster announced the première of Massenet’s Cigale—a divertissement-ballet evoking the poetic melancholy and grace typical of fin-de-siècle French theater.

  • Jane Avril by Toulouse Lautrec 1894 for Les Affiches Illustrees

    Jane Avril by Toulouse Lautrec 1894 for Les Affiches Illustrees

    $ 1,650

    JANE AVRIL – JARDIN DE PARIS — Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

    Original stone-lithograph plate printed circa 1896 at Imprimerie Chaix (Paris) for Les Affiches Illustrées. This reduced-format lithograph reproduces Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s famous poster of Jane Avril, one of Montmartre’s most celebrated dancers, created to advertise her performances at the Jardin de Paris.

    Jane Avril (1868–1943), a close friend and muse of Lautrec, became an icon of Parisian nightlife through her eccentric, serpentine style of dance. Lautrec’s posters of her are among his most enduring works, capturing both her elegance and her unconventional energy. In this design, Avril dominates the composition, her figure twisting in rhythm, while the bold curves and flat colors reflect Lautrec’s revolutionary approach to poster art.

    Les Affiches Illustrées (1896–1899) was among the first journals dedicated to poster art, issued in small runs for collectors. Produced at the Chaix atelier, each plate was a stone-lithograph reduction of an important affiche, printed on fine paper for subscribers. These editions gave collectors authentic examples of the finest Belle Époque posters in a smaller, more practical format than the large affiches pasted on Paris walls.

    Title: Jane Avril – Jardin de Paris
    Artist: Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901)
    Date: c.1896 (after the original 1893 poster)
    Printer: Imprimerie Chaix, Paris (Les Affiches Illustrées)
    Size: 21.5 × 30 cm (approx. 8.5 × 11.8 in)
    Print Type: Stone lithograph
    Condition: Excellent “A,” near-mint on fine wove paper
    Comments: Authentic plate from Les Affiches Illustrées, produced at Chaix. Crisp impression with strong colors. One of Lautrec’s most iconic poster designs, immortalizing Jane Avril and the artistic vibrancy of fin-de-siècle Paris.

  • IRIS BY HOHENSTEIN VINTAGE FRENCH POSTER MAITRE DE L'AFFICHE 1895/99

    IRIS BY HOHENSTEIN VINTAGE FRENCH POSTER MAITRE DE L’AFFICHE 1895/99

    $ 1,200

    IRIS — Adolfo Hohenstein

    Original stone-lithograph plate issued in 1899 at Imprimerie Chaix (Paris) for Les Maîtres de l’Affiche. This plate (no. 197) presents Adolfo Hohenstein’s celebrated poster for the Italian opera Iris, composed by Pietro Mascagni.

    Premiered in Rome in 1898, Iris quickly spread to the great opera houses of Europe, admired for Mascagni’s rich score and exotic subject matter. Hohenstein, often called the “father of Italian poster art,” created the striking visual campaign. His design for Iris blends Symbolist and Art Nouveau influences: a graceful female figure radiates light and mystery, surrounded by decorative motifs that suggest both the opera’s dramatic themes and its lush Orientalist setting.

    Les Maîtres de l’Affiche (1895–1900) was a prestigious subscription series directed by Jules Chéret, showcasing small-format original lithographs of the era’s most important posters. Printed at the Chaix atelier on fine wove paper and issued with the blindstamp, these plates brought the leading poster artists of Europe to collectors in a refined format.

    Title: Iris (opera by Pietro Mascagni)
    Artist: Adolfo Hohenstein (1854–1928)
    Date: 1899 (Les Maîtres de l’Affiche, plate no. 197)
    Printer: Imprimerie Chaix, Paris
    Size: 11.5 × 15.5 inches (approx. 29 × 39 cm)
    Print Type: Stone lithograph
    Condition: Excellent “A,” near-mint on fine wove paper with blindstamp
    Comments: Authentic plate from Les Maîtres de l’Affiche, produced at Chaix under the direction of Jules Chéret. Brilliant impression and vivid color. A rare example of Italian poster design represented in the series, celebrating Hohenstein’s elegant artwork for Mascagni’s Iris.

    PARIS OPERA BY MARC CHAGALL ORIGINAL VINTAGE FRENCH TRAVEL POSTER 1964

    $ 2,950

    PARIS OPERA ROMEO AND JULIETTE BY MARC CHAGALL 1964

    Marc Chagall painted the ceiling of the Paris Opera, officially known as the Palais Garnier, in 1963. His work replaced the original design by Jules-Eugène Lenepveu and was unveiled in 1964. The mural spans 2,400 square feet and celebrates famous composers like Mozart, Wagner, and Debussy. Using vivid colors and dreamlike imagery, Chagall created a striking contrast with the opera’s classical architecture. Initially, some critics felt it clashed with the historic setting, but it later became a beloved feature of the opera house.

    In 1969, Chagall designed a travel poster for Air France featuring Romeo and Juliet. The artwork shows the lovers floating in an embrace above a colorful landscape, blending fantasy and romance. His deep blues, reds, and yellows create a dreamlike atmosphere, reflecting France’s cultural richness. Today, this poster remains one of the most well-known travel images linked to his work.
