12inch x 18inch Poster Poster for the opera "Bal des Petits lits Blanc." Art by Charles Ges(i)mar (1900-1928), simply known as Gesmar, was one of the greatest designers of costumes and posters during the golden age of the Paris music hall during the Jazz Age and was primarily renowned for his work for the great Parisian star Mistinguett. Although his tenure was short, his output was prolific and his creativity and talent unrivalled. One day in early 1917 in Spinelly?s house, he tried to shoot himself after an altercation with the actress but the bullet went into the lavatory cistern and flooded the house instead. Spinelly was not amused and their relationship ended. There is a border around the image. The image size is correct.
