Vachalcade, Nouveau Théâtre (1897). Jules-Alexandre Grün. Poster.

Within the sphere of influ­ence of the big fair, a party is given at the Nou­veau Théâtre, Rue Blanche, to raise funds to aid the artists. In a some­what crude com­po­si­tion using the now essen­tial black and red, Grün depicts a model wearing a hat, laugh­ing at the cen­sors and con­trol­ling an exhausted mad cow. A charm­ing bare-breasted dancer presents a pro­gram, while a cop dis­guised as an angel blesses all from a star­lit background.
