JULES ALEXANDRE GRÜN (1868-1938) SCALA / C'EST D'UN RAID! 1902. 47 1/2 x 34 inches. Bourgerie & Cie. Paris. Condition B / B+: restored losses and restoration along vertical and horizontal folds, and at edges. One of Grün's best images, combining all of his trademark design elements: a beautiful, sexy woman with ample cleavage, dressed in red, and a title with a rather suggestive, priapic double meaning (which defies genteel translation). The Scala was one of Paris' major music halls, and Grün designed most of the posters for the establishment between 1901 and 1905. Grün cover and p. 62.
