Théâtre du Chat Noir, Glycines, Auriol, 1895

Wisteria hangs over the theatre's name.

What

George Auriol's programme cover for the Théâtre du Chat Noir, 1895; Leroy-Crèvecœur 26.

Why

Auriol designed lettering as well as pictures, and the name THÉÂTRE DU CHAT NOIR is set in his own hand.

Notice

Mauve wisteria falls from the top edge, and two small insects hover in the leaves.

“A Japanese-minded page from a Montmartre cabaret.”
