Miss May Belfort Welcoming, c. 1895
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print by renowned artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. The portrait showcases the Irish singer, May Belfort, who found fame and notoriety in Paris during the late 19th century. One of her most well-known songs was "Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow" which became synonymous with her name. In this striking image, Miss May Belfort exudes confidence and charm as she holds a small black cat in her arms. This feline companion serves as both a nod to her signature song and an allusion to her romantic relationships with women—a bold statement for its time. Toulouse-Lautrec's lithograph beautifully captures the essence of Miss May Belfort's stage presence and talent as a vocalist. Known for his impressionist style, the artist skillfully portrays the singer against a monochrome backdrop that adds depth and drama to the composition. This print offers us a glimpse into the vibrant world of music and arts in early 20th-century France. It transports us back to an era when performers like Miss May Belfort captivated audiences with their powerful voices and magnetic personalities. As we admire this piece from "The Etchings of French Impressionists and Their Contemporaries" let us appreciate how art can immortalize remarkable individuals like Miss May Belfort while shedding light on important aspects of their lives—both onstage and offstage.
