“Ambassadeurs, Aristide Bruant dans son cabaret”, 1892. Signed in the stone and marked IMP EDW ANCOURT & Cie 83 Fg St DENIS. Lithograph in colours. Visible size 140×100 cm. Literature: Götz Adriani no. 3; Delteil no. 343; Adhémar no. 6; Adriani no. 5; Wittrock no. P 4. Provenance: The collection of artist Johan Rohde (1856–1935), Copenhagen. Acquired in Paris, 1892. Since by descent in the family. This poster advertises an event with the singer Aristide Bruant at the Ambassadeurs nightclub in Paris, 1892. Bruant, a satirical singer and a friend of the French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901), insisted that Lautrec design this poster. The director of the Ambassadeurs disliked its dramatic and uncompromising style, but since Bruant said he would not perform unless the poster remained, it was used both outside the theatre and inside to decorate the proscenium arch.
