La Loïe Fuller / Aux Folies Bergère
This is the poster for Loïe Fuller's inaugural Paris performance, opening November 5, 1892, at the Folies-Bergère. "Paris had never experienced anything quite like the Loïe craze that followed. Throughout the 1892-93 season she attracted unheard-of-crowds to the Folies-Bergère. She enthralled not only its usual patrons but many others who seldom if ever had been inside such a lowbrow music hall. In doing so, she helped to transform the Folies-Bergère, giving it a new respectability, and she made herself one of the city's top celebrities" (Loïe Fuller/Current, p. 50). This is the larger format.
