ALFRED CHOUBRAC (1853-1902) FOLIES-BERGÈRE / LE ROI S'ENNUIE. 47x32 7/8 inches, 119 1/2x83 1/2 cm. F. Appel, Paris. Condition A-: minor restoration in image. "The King is Bored," is a classic literary and vaudeville conceit in which a monarch grows weary of having everything and needs to be entertained. From a show business point of view this allows for a lavish production filled with eye-catching, titillating and exciting costumes and performers, and in this poster for a long-forgotten review at Paris' most famous music hall, Choubrac captures it all.
