Description:

Belle-Époque poster advertising the Divan Japonais and showing the interior of the cabaret. At the forefront, Lautrec depicted two of his friends: the dancer Jane Avril in an outstanding black outfit and the art critic Édouard Dujardin. The silhouette of singer Yvette Guilbert performing on stage can be seen in the background, recognizable by her long black gloves.

Each lithograph reproduced in this book is authenticated by a blind stamp on the page, modeled on an original drawing by Jules Chéret.

The caption reads in the original French: Affiche pour le concert Divan Japonais.
