Jules-Alexandre Grun (1868–1938) was one of the leading poster artists associated with Parisian cabarets and music halls, producing numerous posters for venues such as La Scala in the early 1900s. This design is generally dated to 1903–1904, and examples recorded in auction catalogues identify Charles Verneau, Paris as the printer.
