Folies-Bergere, Emilienne d’Alencon — Jules Cheret — 1896

Original period color lithographic plate printed by Imprimerie Chaix, Paris, for Ernest Maindron’s Les Affiches Illustrees, published by G. Boudet in 1896. The design advertises Emilienne d’Alencon at the celebrated Folies-Bergere in Paris, with the announcement “Tous les Soirs”—“Every Evening.” Cheret depicts the performer in a pale costume and elaborate pink headdress, above a theatrical figure carrying a brilliant yellow parasol. Blue lettering and bright accents of red and yellow capture the lively atmosphere of Parisian music-hall entertainment.

Cheret’s signature and the date 1893 appear within the composition, identifying the original poster design. This smaller-format edition was published in 1896, during the artist’s lifetime, with the publisher and printer credited in the lower margin.

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.

Cirage Jaquot by Lucien Lefevre FOR LES AFFICHES ILLUSTREES 1896 Stone Litho

CIRAGE JACQUOT — Lefèvre

Original stone-lithograph plate printed circa 1896 at Imprimerie Chaix (Paris) for Les Affiches Illustrées. This reduced-format lithograph reproduces Lefèvre’s colorful advertising poster for Cirage Jacquot, a French shoe polish brand whose whimsical marketing campaigns were widely recognized in the late 19th century. The poster, with its bold typography and cheerful imagery, reflects the era’s fascination with turning everyday products into art through the medium of the illustrated affiche.

Les Affiches Illustrées (1896–1899) was among the earliest publications dedicated to poster art, issued in limited numbers to collectors. Produced under the direction of Jules Chéret at the Chaix workshop, each plate was a carefully executed lithographic reduction of a major contemporary poster. These editions, printed on fine paper with the same techniques as the full-size affiches, allowed subscribers to collect authentic works by leading artists of the Belle Époque in a smaller, more practical format.

The Cirage Jacquot design is a fine example of the commercial poster’s role in shaping modern visual culture. With its lively character and clear branding, it demonstrates how advertising lithography blended humor, style, and function—qualities that made such works both effective marketing tools and enduring collectibles.

MUSÉE GRÉVIN – PANTOMIMES — Jules Chéret

Original stone-lithograph plate printed circa 1896 at Imprimerie Chaix (Paris) for Les Affiches Illustrées. This reduced-format lithograph of Jules Chéret’s lively poster for the Pantomimes Lumineuses at the Musée Grévin, one of Paris’s most popular venues of the Belle Époque.

Founded in 1882, the Musée Grévin was both a wax museum and a showcase for visual spectacles. In the 1890s it became famous for its “pantomimes lumineuses,” or illuminated pantomimes — short theatrical works combining actors, costumes, and projected effects, a hybrid between shadow theatre and early cinema. These productions were highly fashionable and foreshadowed the rise of motion-picture entertainment.

Les Affiches Illustrées (1896–1899) was among the first journals dedicated to poster art, issued in small runs for the growing collector market. Published under Jules Chéret’s direction at the Chaix atelier, the series presented high-quality stone-lithograph reductions of important affiches by leading artists. Printed with the same techniques as the large posters but in a smaller format, they allowed subscribers to own authentic works by masters like Chéret, Grasset, Mucha, and Toulouse-Lautrec.

Chéret’s design for the Pantomimes bursts with movement and color: elegant female figures whirl across the stage, evoking music, light, and theatrical excitement. The composition captures both the joyous atmosphere of Parisian nightlife and Chéret’s reputation as the “father of the modern poster.”
