Le Miroir
EDITORS COMMENTS
(The Mirror), an exquisite affiche (poster) created by the renowned French artist Jules Cheret for the Folies-Bergère in Paris, c1899, is a captivating testament to the Belle Époque era's vibrant and whimsical spirit. Published by Imprimerie Chaix, this lithograph (print made from a lithographic stone) showcases a charming scene of two people, a man and a woman, standing before a hand mirror at the edge of a coastal area. The man, dressed as the iconic Commedia dell'Arte character Pierrot, dons a white outfit with red polka dots and a blue bow, while the woman, dressed in a flowing, colorful gown, gazes into the mirror, her reflection captured in its shimmering surface. The poster's design is a stunning example of the Art Nouveau style, with intricate, flowing lettering and delicate, organic shapes. The text, written in French, reads "Folies Bergère. Théâtre Italien. Musique. Danse. Pantomime. Maitres de la Folie" (Folies Bergère. Theatre Italian. Music. Dance. Pantomime. Masters of Fun). The poster's lower case lettering and the use of the color red add an inviting and playful touch to the overall design. The New York Public Library's impressive collection holds this cherished piece of heritage art, a reminder of the rich history of cabaret and entertainment that once thrived in Paris during the late 19th century. The image of the man and woman looking into the mirror, surrounded by the lively and festive atmosphere of the Folies-Bergère, invites us to imagine the joy and wonder that filled the Parisian nightlife scene over a century ago.
