Original monumental billboard poster designed by René Gruau for the Lido de Paris revue “Quelle nuit !” (Revue enchantée) created by Pierre-Louis Guérin and René Fraday in 1964.
This is the true large-format advertising printing measuring approximately 320 x 480 cm (126 x 189 inches), produced for outdoor display. The scale places it among the largest format posters issued for the Lido and represents Gruau’s bold graphic style associated with Parisian fashion and cabaret imagery.
To our knowledge, and after extensive review of auction records and gallery references, no other surviving example of this oversized billboard format has been documented. This appears to be the only currently known example of this monumental printing.
Printed for public exhibition and large-scale posting, this format was intended for billboard or prominent exterior display.

Original billboard-size poster by René Gruau created for the Lido de Paris revue Grand Prix in 1964.

This design reflects Gruau’s signature graphic style associated with Parisian fashion, cabaret, and theatrical advertising.
This is the monumental billboard format measuring approximately 320 x 480 cm (189 x 126 inches). Posters of this scale were produced for large exterior display and were typically issued in multiple panels for street posting. Due to their intended outdoor use, very few examples of this size survive.
