MARIGNY THEATRE. 1905. 30 1/4x22 inches. Minot, Paris. Condition A-: minor abrasions in image; repaired tears margins. Another image of gay Paris that, if the posters can be believed, was a paradise in which rich (and dirty) old men could have sexy encounters. Although the message of this poster is rather hard to grasp (is this a scene from the revue, or merely what one can expect backstage?) the heat and allure of the scene are still riveting. The Theater Marginy, which has always been an elegant establishment, still exists today in the gardens of the Champs-Elysées.
