Album of French Belle ÉpoqueTheatre & Cabaret Programs

Collection of 81 programs and playbills from the French Belle Époque, ca. 1890 - 1900. Many in color with vivid illustrations. Includes a large grouping of small format programs issued by L'Illustration as well as programs and tickets from the Folies Bergère, Marigny Théatre, Casino de Paris, Jardin de Paris, Cabaret de Quat' z'Arts, Olympia, Théatre des Nouveautés, Nouveau Circque, Hippodrome, Almanach du Charivari pour 1896, etc. The many famous performers represented here include not only Bernhardt, Otero, Réjane and Hading, but also the famous lion-tamer Pezon (large broadside). The collection contained in a fragile album, some loose, many mounted with cellotape along one edge or rear wrapper. Mostly in very good condition, apart from mounting traces and usual creases. A remarkable collection. (6269)
