MOULIN ROUGE.
15 1/2x11 1/2 inches. Chaix, Paris.
Condition A. Paper.
Plate 122 of the Maitres de l'Affiche<> issued in 1898 (the poster was printed in 1891). Perhaps the most well-known and iconic of all the fin de siecle<> posters. The original format of Lautrec's wonderful, three sheet poster is over six feet tall and is also one of the most expensive Art Nouveau posters to ever be auctioned. Once again the Maitres de l'Affiche<> proves to be far more economical in size and cost!
