It seems that most of this specific poster was folded when released in 1926. Known professionally as Mistinguett, Jeanne Florentine Bourgeois (April 5, 1873 – January 5, 1956). Mistinguett — The Moulin Rouge's biggest star, who in 1919 insured her legs for 500,000 francs. Mistinguett was once one of the highest-paid female entertainers in the world. In 1885, her career as an entertainer started when she met Saint-Marcel on a train to Paris en route to a violin lesson. Saint-Marcel directed the revue at the famous Casino de Paris. At first, she was hired as a stagehand, and that’s when she experimented with different stage names, trying out several before choosing Mistinguett. She made her stage debut at the Casino de Paris and later performed at other venues like the Moulin Rouge, Folies Bergère, and Eldorado. About the artist: Charles Gesmar (1900–1928): born Charles Auguste Jean Gesmar in Paris in 1900. Demonstrating artistic talent from a young age, Gesmar entered the world of commercial art as a teenager. By just 19, his artwork was already in high demand among the Parisian cabaret and music hall elite. Gesmar is best known for his work with the legendary French performer Mistinguett. At age 19, he became her main costume and poster designer—an impressive achievement for someone so young. Their partnership shaped the visual glamour of Mistinguett’s stage persona and her shows at renowned venues like the Moulin Rouge and Casino de Paris. Tragically, Charles Gesmar’s life was cut short—he died of pneumonia in 1928 at just 28 years old. Each poster comes with a . We use durable, suitable packaging to make sure it arrives safely.
