EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases a poster advertising the highly anticipated reopening of Le Petit Theatre on 10 October in Paris, 1901. Created by the talented artist Paul Balluriau, this colour lithograph is a true masterpiece that now resides in a private collection. The poster itself is an exquisite representation of art nouveau style, with intricate details and striking imagery. At its center stands a muse, gracefully holding the masks of comedy and tragedy in her upraised hands. This symbolizes the diverse range of performances that will be showcased at Le Petit Theatre - from lighthearted comedies to profound tragedies. The background design adds another layer of visual interest as it incorporates outlines of audience members and depicts an Ombres Chinoises show featuring Napoleon in Egypt. This clever inclusion highlights one of the theater's specialties - shadow plays or "Ombres" which were immensely popular during that era. Le Petit Theatre was renowned for its exceptional entertainment offerings, including interludes or "intermedes". These short theatrical pieces provided delightful breaks between main acts and added to the overall enchantment experienced by theatergoers. With this stunning poster, Balluriau successfully captures the essence and excitement surrounding Le Petit Theatre's grand reopening. It serves as both an advertisement for upcoming shows and a testament to the artistic brilliance flourishing within Parisian theaters during this time period.
