About the Item

This 1958 original vintage poster for the Bal du Moulin Rouge is a striking example of mid-century Parisian cabaret advertising. Designed with a bold red, white, and blue color scheme, it captures the essence of the world-famous Moulin Rouge, a legendary Parisian nightclub that has been an icon of French entertainment since its opening in 1889. The typography is dynamic and engaging, emphasizing the spectacle de cabaret, promising a sumptuous show at an affordable price. The French Cancan, the signature dance of the Moulin Rouge, is highlighted alongside the name of Jean-Louis Bert, a performer known for his captivating stage presence. The featured artists for June 1958 include: 🌟 Gino Donati 🌟 Chaz Chase 🌟 Les Spencer 🌟 Ruman et Kita 🌟 Joe Laurel, Vera et Erno, Bill Finch, Freddy Fah 🌟 Margaret Kelly Dancers – a celebrated dance troupe founded by Margaret Kelly, also known as Miss Bluebell, who revolutionized Parisian cabaret choreography. The orchestras of Jean de Smet and Vincent Casino, with Bob Martin, provided the lively and enchanting musical backdrop that made the Bal du Moulin Rouge an unmissable event in 1950s Paris. This poster is not only an advertisement but also a historical artifact, showcasing the Golden Age of Parisian nightlife. Its bold lettering and vibrant layout are reflective of the energy, excitement, and glamour that defined the Moulin Rouge and its extravagant performances. This poster is a classic example of Moulin Rouge advertising, encapsulating the exuberance and theatricality that have made this Parisian landmark a symbol of French nightlife and entertainment for over a century.
