Description
This is an authenticated original vintage poster from the legendary Les Ambassadeurs cabaret, circa 1890s, designed by the master Art Nouveau lithographer Alfred Choubrac (1853–1902). IVPDA certified with Certificate of Authenticity included.
A masterpiece of Belle Époque theatrical advertising. This horizontal lithograph showcases Choubrac’s signature Art Nouveau aesthetic—flowing lines, elegant typography, and the sensual rendering of five performers that defined early-1900s Parisian entertainment culture.
The Poster & Its Context:
Les Ambassadeurs was one of Paris’s most exclusive cabaret venues, famous for hosting the city’s most sophisticated performers and attracting high-society audiences. The poster advertises “Les 5 Demi-Vierges” (The Five Half-Virgins), a celebrated theatrical revue that became emblematic of Belle Époque decadence and artistic expression. Choubrac’s design captures the glamour, mystery, and refined sensuality that defined the era’s entertainment aesthetic.
