Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec – Aristide Bruant au Mirliton, 1950 Lithograph (after the 1894 poster)
This Toulouse-Lautrec Aristide Bruant au Mirliton lithograph is a 1950 reproduction of the artist’s 1894 poster advertising Bruant’s performances at his Montmartre cabaret. The composition presents the performer from behind, his compact silhouette defined by heavy black forms and anchored by the characteristic hat and stance, while bold red lettering announces the venue and nightly appearances.
Stripped of unnecessary detail, the image demonstrates Lautrec’s mature graphic language, where figure and typography work together as a unified design. This example is a later lithographic reproduction and not a period impression, preserving one of the most recognizable advertising images associated with Bruant’s Mirliton cabaret.

The design reflects Lautrec’s ability to merge figure and text into a cohesive and highly effective advertising image.
As a posthumous lithograph, this work offers collectors access to one of Lautrec’s key Bruant posters tied directly to the artist’s Montmartre cabaret, an essential subject within Belle Époque poster art.
