Original lithograph printed in colors on wove paper. Lifetime impression after Jules Cheret;
plate 229 for the Maîtres de l’Affiche series.
Transcribed from Cheret's full-size
1900 poster of the same title by artisans at Atelier Chéret and issued as plate 229 (of 256) in the series Les Maîtres de l’Affiche (The Masters of the Poster), bearing the blindstamp of the monogram (Lugt 1777c)
in the sheet lower right. Published by Jules Chéret and printed at Impremiere Chaix (Atelier Chéret), Paris. Advertising a
shadow theater epic play called "The March in the Sunshine" running at the theater "La Bodiniere". Since artisans at Impremiere
Chaix transcribed the image, this is technically an "after" Cheret, although it is a lifetime impression.
