Jules Chéret (1836–1932) excelled at marketing the entertainment venues of the fin de siècle, and the 'Jardin de Paris' poster is a vibrant masterpiece of this genre. It promotes the venue as a place of joyful, uninhibited celebration.

• The Chérettes in Action: The poster is dominated by his signature "Chérettes"—lively, free-spirited women—who are often depicted dancing, laughing, and twirling, their voluminous dresses billowing with movement. Their energy and sophisticated style encapsulate the freedom and modernity of the new Parisian woman.

• Mastery of Light and Movement: Chéret's revolutionary use of color lithography is on full display here. He uses dashes of vibrant yellow and bold colors against soft, watercolor-like washes to suggest the brilliant gaslight and electric illumination of the evening venue. The overall effect is one of continuous, dazzling motion.

• The Belle Époque Ideal: This poster sells not just a location, but an aspirational lifestyle—one of carefree elegance, music, and the social mixing that defined the golden age of Paris. It perfectly captures the sensory overload of a beautiful evening on the Champs-Élysées.
