THEOPHILE -ALEXANDRE STEINLEN LE REVE. 1890. 331/4x25 inches. Gillot, Paris. Condition B+: repaired tears in image and margins. A woman with a white tutu and an orange-lined kimono waving a fan over her head in front of an entire orange and white hued operatic production; lettering in black, blue and white. The first act of Leon Gastinel's ballet "The Dream," based on Japanese legend, involves a giant fan behind which the heroine is lead by the Goddess Isanami. Steinlen incorporates the Japanese theme into his poster thus evoking the feeling of the production and capitalizing on an art style which was very popular at that time. DFP-2 779, Opera 28, Bargiel p. 35.
