Lot description

Jules Chéret 1836-1932 Théâtre de l'Opéra / 4e & Dernier Grand Bal Masqué. 1897. Condition B+: replaced losses and darkening at edges. Starting in 1892 Chéret took on the commission to advertise the masked balls held every season at the Théâtre de l'Opéra. He executed a different poster for them almost every year through 1898. These images were printed without text, so that throughout the season separate imprints (bearing different dates and venues, as four balls were held each year) could be added to the posters. Chéret 386, Broido 300.
