Le Chat Noir - vintage art poster 40х50см

The Black Cat opened on 18 November 1881 at 84 Boulevard Rochechouart by the impresario Rodolphe Salis in the bohemian Montmartre district of Paris.

Le Chat Noir is the first modern cabaretл The acts were introduced by a master of ceremonies who interacted with well-known patrons at the tables. Its imitators have included cabarets from St. Petersburg (Stray Dog Café) to Barcelona (Els Quatre Gats).

Perhaps best known now by its iconic Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen poster art, in its heyday it was a bustling nightclub that was part artist salon, part rowdy music hall. The cabaret published its own humorous journal Le Chat Noir until 1895.
