{"product_id":"cheret-danseuse-de-corde-1891-theatre","title":"Cheret La Danseuse de Corde 1891 | Vintage Theatre Poster","description":"\u003cp\u003eA red-haired performer in a dark navy costume walks a diagonal tightrope, her amber hair streaming behind her, a balancing pole in her left hand. Cadmium red lettering curves around her figure, 'La Danseuse de Corde', while 'NOUVEAU THEATRE' sits in bold navy at the upper right. The composition is built around the single animated figure, with the typography drawn into her movement rather than placed above it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe poster was lithographed in 1891 by Jules Chéret at his Ateliers Chaix press on rue Bergère in Paris, to advertise a pantomime at the Nouveau Théâtre on rue Blanche. The performance was written by Aurélien Scholl and Jules Roques, with music by Raoul Pugno. The lead mime role was played by Félicia Mallet, who would later become the subject of drawings by Edouard Vuillard. Chéret received the Legion of Honour from the French government in 1890 for his contributions to the graphic arts, the year before this poster was produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChéret's female figures, the so-called 'Chérettes', were a defining presence on the walls of Paris through the 1880s and 1890s: lively, mid-motion, and drawn directly onto the lithographic stone rather than transferred from a separate design. This 1891 design belongs to the peak of that period. A copy of this poster is held in the permanent collection of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, with further examples in the Bibliotheque Nationale de France, Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReproduced using the giclée process on 200gsm Enhanced Matte Fine Art Paper. The natural white, no-brightener surface renders the cream ground and the cadmium red lettering with fidelity to the original lithographic palette.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Poster Archives","offers":[{"title":"A4","offer_id":63909613535609,"sku":"VPA-11431-A4","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"A3","offer_id":63909613568377,"sku":"VPA-11431-A3","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"A2","offer_id":63909613601145,"sku":"VPA-11431-A2","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"50x70cm","offer_id":63909613633913,"sku":"VPA-11431-50x70cm","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"A1","offer_id":63909613666681,"sku":"VPA-11431-A1","price":44.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"70x100cm","offer_id":63909613699449,"sku":"VPA-11431-70x100cm","price":59.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"A0","offer_id":63909613732217,"sku":"VPA-11431-A0","price":69.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/1139\/4937\/files\/Cinema-LaDanseuseDeCordeNouveauTheatre-FeliciaMallet-1890s.jpg?v=1783449266","url":"https:\/\/vintageposterarchives.com\/products\/cheret-danseuse-de-corde-1891-theatre","provider":"Vintage Poster Archives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
