Theatre de l’opera Carnaval by Cheret for Les Affiches Illustrees 1894
Original stone-lithograph plate printed circa 1896 at Imprimerie Chaix (Paris) for Les Affiches Illustrées. This reduced-format lithograph reproduces Jules Chéret’s exuberant poster for the 1892 Paris Carnival at the Théâtre de l’Opéra.
The annual Opéra masquerade balls were among the most anticipated events of Belle Époque Paris, drawing fashionable crowds for evenings of music, dance, and masked revelry. Chéret’s design captures the carnival’s spirit of joy and festivity: a central female figure in motion, surrounded by swirling ribbons and celebratory text, rendered in his signature palette of vivid reds, yellows, and blues. As with many of his works, Chéret conveys both the elegance and the playful abandon of Parisian nightlife in the 1890s.
Les Affiches Illustrées (1896–1899) was a pioneering collector’s journal, presenting reduced-format lithographs of important contemporary posters. Produced under Chéret’s supervision at the Chaix atelier, each plate replicated the technique of the original affiche, allowing subscribers to own authentic Belle Époque poster art in a more practical format.
