[Belle Époque] Fuller, Loie. (1862-1928)

1893 Folies Bergère Program

Program of 24 February, 1893. 4 pp. The cover featuring a spectacular color lithograph after Bac (Ferdinand Sigismond Bach) of the modern dance and theatrical lighting pioneer who was the embodiment of the Art Nouveau movement. The performance feature inside advertised in largest type is "Loie Fuller / Créatrice de la Dance serpentine" who performed not only her celebrated Serpetine dance with scarves, but also "La Violette" and the intriguingly titled "XXXX." Though the listed "Kangarou Boxeur" (please see related item) was undoubtedly a hard act to follow, we are sure Fuller was up to it! Tape remnants along edges, else fine, the colors extremely vivid and well preserved. 15.5 x 24 cm.

Shortly after arriving from America, Fuller had made her European debut at the Folies Bergère in October of the previous year. (6299)
