Description

A dramatic black cat sits upright against a glowing red circular halo on a warm tan background, its yellow eyes fixed on the viewer in an arresting, iconic pose. The bold red and black typography announces 'Tournée du Chat Noir avec Rodolphe Salis,' referencing the famous Le Chat Noir cabaret founded by Rodolphe Salis in Montmartre, Paris in 1881 — one of the most celebrated bohemian venues of the Belle Époque. This lithographic poster by Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen, held in the Rijksmuseum collection (inventory RP-P-1969-78), is a landmark of French Art Nouveau poster design.
