Bal des Quatr'z'Arts. Invitation pour un couple

Quatr'z'arts

(Paris). Le Comité des Quatr'z'Arts. 1892
The scarce, ephemeral invitation to the first of the 'Bal des Quat'z'Arts'.

The 'Bal des Quat'z'Arts', which took place on 23 April 1892, was organised for students of architecture, painting, sculpture and engraving at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts. The event was held in the Elysée Montmatre and behaviour was modest by comparison to standards reached in subsequent years.

The owner's name is handwritten in pencil. The invitation has been folded down the centre.
Single sheet. (433 x 265 mm). Black letterpress text printed on brown butcher's paper, the single illustration is covered by a label with the stamped text 'Dessin supprimé par la censure.'
