The Black Cat The Black Cat Fine Art Postcard

Remembrance program from the Chat Noir cabaret, Montmartre, Paris, c. 1897. After the death of Rodolphe Salis - the founder of the Chat Noir cabaret in Montmartre - in 1896, Jehan Chagot bought the property and tried to revive and modernize it. This is a souvenir program from the cabaret under the direction of Chagot. The following is the text inside the program: CAVEAU DU CHAT NOIR Open at 9 a.m. The famous cabaret du Chat Noir founded in 1884 by Rodolphe Salis, acquired universal notoriety, not only by the value of his illustrious songwriters: Mac-Nab, Jules Jouy, Delmet, etc., but also by the quality and talent of the writers and Artists who were the main regulars; they were used every evening to Maurice Donnay, Edmond Haraucourt, Jean Richepin, Georges Courteline, Alphonse Allais, Caran-D'Ache, Steinlen, Willette, and many other contemporary glories, who were friends and collaborators of the gentleman cabaretier. In 1896, at the death of Salis, Jehan Chagot, who for 7 years had led the Happy Conservatory of Montmartre, undertook to revive it by renovating and modernizing it, the work of his illustrious predecessor. And again, the glorious sign brilla brilla in the heart of Montmartre, at the gateway to the elegant Caveau where you can find today all the healthy traditions truly Montmartre, of joy, of humor, and in no way, dear to the Grand Salis and which justify the strong expression of the late Alphonse Allais: "Montmartre is the navel of the world!" The room is decorated with the works of the main masters of the pencil and brush. It is worth noting mainly original drawings by Georges Redon: Portraits of artists and celebrities of the Black Cat (unique collection).
