Advertising fan for Pigall's Restaurant cabaret in Paris.

Wooden fan with paper leaf, printed after an illustration by Henri Chenet: a waiter, red with embarrassment (or desire??!!?), brings a very phallic-looking piece of meat to a couple who are kissing passionately in a private room of the restaurant, with a painting showing Pan in an orgy scene in the background.


Good condition (micro stains and tears)
