More about the book

The story of the most famous cabaret in the world through the most exceptional music hall posters, from La Goulue to the Doriss Girls, including Jane Avril, Yvette Guilbert, Valentin le Désossé, Toulouse-Lautrec, Mistinguett, Jacques-Charles, Jean Gabin, and many others. The most prestigious of lineups against a backdrop of French Cancan, Valse chaloupée, and "Ça c'est Paris." This is what the two hundred twenty pages that follow offer, with unpublished or forgotten documents from decades past. A recollection of a time when there were two hundred performers on stage and many more in the audience. An epic, in the form of a journal, whose performers, endowed at the start with eternal youth, have ultimately become immortal.
