    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 Jaquot by Lucien Lefevre FOR LES AFFICHES ILLUSTREES 1896 Stone Litho

    $ 275

    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.

  • Pantomimes Lumineuses by Jules Cheret 1894 for Les Affiches Illustrees

    Pantomimes Lumineuses by Jules Cheret 1894 for Les Affiches Illustrees

    $ 275

    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.”

    Title: Musée Grévin – Pantomimes Lumineuses

    Artist: Jules Chéret (1836–1932)

    Date: c.1896 (after the original poster of the early 1890s)

    OLYMPIA – ANCIENNES MONTAGNES RUSSES — 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 vibrant poster for the Olympia music hall, promoting the “Anciennes Montagnes Russes” (Old Russian Mountains), a thrilling amusement attraction presented alongside the venue’s popular entertainments.

    The Olympia, founded in 1888 by Joseph Oller (co-founder of the Moulin Rouge), quickly became one of the premier music halls of Paris. In addition to musical revues and stage spectacles, it offered fairground-style amusements such as the “Russian Mountains”—an early form of roller coaster imported from Russia and a popular novelty of the late 19th century. Chéret’s lively composition reflects this spirit of excitement and spectacle: joyous figures in motion, flowing banners, and dynamic color that convey both speed and festivity.

    Les Affiches Illustrées (1896–1899) was one of the first publications devoted to poster art, issued in small runs for collectors. Produced under Chéret’s artistic supervision at the Chaix atelier, each plate was a reduced-format stone lithograph of a major affiche, printed on fine paper for subscribers. These works, smaller than the street posters but identical in technique, brought the new art of the poster into the hands of collectors and art lovers.

  • Quinquina Dubonnet Aperitif Jules Cheret 1894 for Les Affiches Illustrees

    Quinquina Dubonnet Aperitif Jules Cheret 1894 for Les Affiches Illustrees

    $ 325

    QUINQUINA DUBONNET — 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 famous poster for Quinquina Dubonnet, the French apéritif wine infused with quinine.

    First created in 1846 by Joseph Dubonnet, the fortified wine was promoted not only as a fashionable aperitif but also as a tonic with supposed health benefits. By the 1890s it had become a household name, thanks in part to striking posters like those of Chéret. His design for Dubonnet features an exuberant female figure in swirling dress and ribbons, raising a glass with infectious energy — the very embodiment of the Belle Époque’s joie de vivre.

    Les Affiches Illustrées (1896–1899) was among the first collector series dedicated to poster art, issued in small editions. Produced at the Chaix atelier under Chéret’s supervision, each plate was a carefully executed stone-lithograph reduction of a major affiche, printed on fine paper. These works allowed collectors to own high-quality, authentic examples of poster art in a more practical format than the large affiches that covered Parisian walls.
