About The Poster: This is No. 114 (January 9th, 1897) of the French Publication Le Rire, with a cover illustrated by Henri de Toulouse Lautrec. About this publication, Wikipedia writes: "Le Rire, or "Laughter," was a successful humor magazine published from October 1894 through the 1950s. Founded in Paris during the Belle Époque by Felix Juven, Le Rire appeared as typical Parisians began to achieve more education, income and leisure time. Interest in the arts, culture and politics intensified during the Gay Nineties. Publications like this helped satisfy such curiosity. It was the most successful of all the "Journaux Humoristiques."
