Le Cafe Concert 1893. With 22 lithographs by Lautrec and Ibels

Le Cafe Concert. Montorgueil, Georges. Toulouse-Lautrec. Paris, L Estampe Originale, [1893]. Paperback album consisting of 15 pages of text by Montorgueil, plus 22 lithographs in full page, 11 by Toulouse-Lautrec and 11 by Ibels including the cover. The 22 plates represent various artists of the Cafe-Concert: Jane Avril, Yvette Guilbert, Paula Brebion, Mary Hamilton, Edmee Lescot, Aristide Bruant, Caudieux, etc. This series by Toulouse-Lautrec and Henri-Gabriel Ibels captures the essence of Parisian life and the dynamism of its nights. Far from the stuffy atmosphere of theaters or concert halls, these jaunty vivacious places flourished during the Belle Epoque, and launched artists of remarkable modernity. The two painters portray here the most famous cabaret stars of the time, in the movement of their choreography or the grace of their poses. Cover with small losses to the headpieces.
