Four dancers in a row kick up their skirts in a chorus-line quadrille: Jane Avril, Cléopâtre, Églantine and Gazelle, the troupe that Mademoiselle Églantine took to the Palace Theatre in London in 1896. Jane Avril asked Toulouse-Lautrec for the poster and sent him a photograph of the four to work from; he drew them in a single sweep of yellow, red and black across a horizontal sheet, with their names lettered below. The printer was Ancourt. It is one of his rare landscape-format posters and the last he made for Avril's circle before the 1899 Jane Avril. The impression reproduced is in the Bibliothèque de l'INHA in Paris.
This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.
