Le "Quartier" Cabaret-Salon. 1897.
Whether it's 1897 in Paris, 1967 in San Francisco, or 2020 in Brooklyn, the counterculture scene resonates in this indelible image: a Bohemian poet, orating in wild hair and tangled beard, to a gaggle of female admirers in a dimly lit night café—this one was just a block from the Jardins du Luxembourg and two blocks from the Sorbonne. It's the first known poster of the little-known Georges Fay, and was good enough to get him noticed by Jules Chéret, who solicited two pieces from him for inclusion in Les Maîtres de l'Affiche.
Size: 31 3/8 x 46 1/8 in./79.7 x 117.2 cm
Condition: B+/ Slight tears at folds and edges.
Printer: Imp. P. Vercasson, Paris
Reference: DFP-II, 337; Schardt, p. 103; PAI-LXXX, 336
