I can usually source this poster. If you are interested please contact me. Greg"A very lively scene, where assorted revelers invite us to join in the festivities of the first masked ball of the 1894 season. The feeling of agitated movement is conveyed with a masterly perfection.
Like virtually all of the posters Cheret did for the dances at this theatre between 1892 and 1897, the design features a profiled woman in a billowing dress looking out over her shoulder as a …male figure and other revellers dance around her. Cheret would do a single design each winter and it would be repeated with varying text throughout the season… Cheret, reworking the same visual ingredients always keeps us interested" (Rennert)
