Le Frou-Frou. 1900. Weiluc (Lucien-Henri Weil).44 1⁄8 x 61 5⁄8 in./112 x 156.5 cmOne of the greatest, most alluring posters in the world: those sly cat eyes, those sumptuous cushions, that seductive plume of cigarette smoke, and most breathtaking: the white negative space of the petticoats, on which to dream. Le Frou-Frou was a light-hearted, satirical publication that ran from 1900 to the beginning of World War I; its pages contained pictures of can-can dancers, cartoons, humorous anecdotes of Parisian life, and more risqué elements like some of the first advertisements for condoms. This is the rare, large format version of the poster.Available at auction February 25, 2018. -- source link
