This rare 19th-century Montmartre poster announces the impressive lineup of cabaret singers to perform at Le Trianon theater and music hall in Paris. The artist, Jules-Alexandre Grün, worked for poster designer Jules Chéret, and he was ultimately Chéret's main competitor in this field.

Condition A-: light toning; scattered small creases; some barely-visible repaired edge tears; sheet could be laid down (maybe to linen); not examined out of frame.
