Alcazar d'Été, Les Rigolboches, Chéret, 1876

Four dancers kick in the same direction.

What

Jules Chéret's poster for Les Rigolboches at the Alcazar d'Été, Champs-Élysées, printed at Chéret's own press in 1876; Broido 165.

Why

Every night, says the bottom line, and the dancers are already mid-leap.

Notice

The two women wear red and white, one man is in checks and one in black, and their shadows fall in a single dark pool beneath them.

“An early Chéret, from the years when his own press printed his posters.”
