Paris l'Été, Restaurant des Ambassadeurs, 1884

Dinner in the open air on the Champs-Élysées.

What

A poster for the Restaurant des Ambassadeurs, from the atelier of Jules Chéret, printed by Chaix in Paris in 1884; the BnF sheet measures 120 by 86 cm; Broido 845.

Why

Paris in summer moved outdoors, and the Ambassadeurs pavilion fed the crowd before the show.

Notice

Waiters in white aprons weave between the tables, and the pavilion glows white behind the trees.

“The other half of the café-concert: the dinner before the songs.”
