In this spectacular two-sheet poster, Gesmar shows the two distinct stage personas affected by Mistinguett: the flamboyant showgirl and the Parisian street urchin. She was equally effective and popular in both guises. The poster is usually referred to as “Rags to Riches,” and was the artist’s last poster for Mistinguett. This is a two-sheet poster.
