{"product_id":"celebrites-french-satirical-comic","title":"Some Lyric Celebrities- Le Rire","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis delightful chromolithograph by the legendary French caricaturist Sem captures six stars of the Parisian café-concert scene in the early 1900s. Titled \"Quelques Célébrités Lyriques\" (Some Lyric Celebrities), the print features Polin in two characteristic poses as the comic soldier, Baldy with his broom and colorful ribbons, the rotund Sulbac in his blue smock, Paulus in elegant top hat, and the famous Yvette Guilbert in her signature dramatic pose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSem, the pseudonym of Georges Goursat, was the preeminent chronicler of Belle Époque Paris, his pen capturing everyone from aristocrats to entertainers with affectionate wit. His caricatures distill each performer's essence into a few masterful strokes, the exaggerated features somehow more revealing than any photograph. The selective use of color against the cream ground, with those distinctive coral-red military trousers appearing twice, demonstrates the sophisticated chromolithographic printing of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA charming document of a vanished entertainment world, this print offers a window into the music halls that made Paris the entertainment capital of the world. A standout piece for collectors of French illustration or café-concert history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.5\" x 8.5\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sem\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Authentic Vintage Posters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42074268827763,"sku":"IL3456","price":35.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0088\/3005\/8556\/files\/pasted-image-1769542462298.png?v=1775263961","url":"https:\/\/www.authenticvintageposters.com\/en-nl\/products\/celebrites-french-satirical-comic","provider":"Authentic Vintage Posters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
