The poet Jan Lechoń conceived the Balet Polski, and Bronisława Nijinska led the company. The company made its debut at the 1937 Exposition Internationale in Paris. This lithograph carries the imprint of Imprimerie Moussot, Paris. The outbreak of the Second World War ended the company after two seasons.
On the poster
A female dancer fills the upper half of the sheet, her torso arcing backward, arms raised and extended, in saturated magenta against a wash of blush pink. A purple silhouette of a second dancer echoes behind her to the upper left, and two more figures in fine white line occupy the lower flanks. "BALET" is set in spaced rose-pink capitals to the right, and "POLSKI" is set at the base in broad black serifs.
The imprint "IMP. MOUSSOT, PARIS" runs vertically along the left margin.
