Eldorado Music Hall - Cheret

Ah, to be in Paris during La Belle Epoque! This Jules Cheret poster for the famed Parisian music hall, Eldorado, perfectly capture the "joie de vivre" of this notorious time in the City of Lights. Rather than advertising a specific revue, this poster highlights that "every night" there is msuic and revelry to be had at the iconic venue.

Jules Cheret (1836-1932) was known as the "Father of the Modern Poster". He was a French painter and lithographer who traveled to England as an apprentice and introduced the latest lithography techniques to French culture. Paired with his creativity and artistic flair, Cheret began creating advertisements for cabarets, music halls, and theaters. His artwork is typified by his influence of the Rococo movement to create vivid advertising, often featuring free-spirited young women that became known as "Cherettes". These figures have become quintessential Belle Epoque imagery. Cheret's posters earned him a gold medal at the Paris World's Fair in 1889.
