Aux Ambassadeurs, Yvette Guilbert, Henri Dumont, 1895

Yvette Guilbert in green and long black gloves.

What

Henri Dumont's poster for Yvette Guilbert, every night at the Ambassadeurs, 1895; the BnF sheet measures 200 by 77 cm.

Why

Guilbert's black gloves were her signature, and Dumont drew them reaching up the whole height of the sheet.

Notice

A black cat sits at her feet, and her name trails down the right side in orange script.

“The most famous singer of the café-concert, at full length.”
