Lido Bonjour La Nuit Cabaret Paris 25th Anniversary Show

£450.00

Original vintage cabaret show poster featuring a fantastic design by the notable graphic artist Rene Gruau (Renato de Zavagli; 1909-2004) to promote Bonjour la Nuit / Hello Night at the famous nightclub Lido on the Champs Elysees Paris for the club's 25th anniversary in 1971, created by Pierre Louis-Guerin and Rene Fraday and directed by Bob Turk with costumes by Folco. Colourful and flamboyant pin-up style burlesque image of scantily dressed smiling Bluebell Girls dancing in their flowing white feather costumes and sparkly jewellery with gentlemen in top hats as black silhouettes behind them against a dark blue background, the text over the white dress in stylised blue and black letters below. Le Lido opened in 1946; the Irish dancer "Miss Bluebell" Margaret Leibovici (nee Kelly; 1910-2004) founded the renowned Bluebell Girls dance troupe who performed at the Paris Lido from 1947. Very good condition, creasing.
