In 1881, Rodolphe Salis opened Le Chat Noir in Montmartre — the first modern cabaret, and the beating heart of Parisian bohemian culture at the height of the Belle Époque. The black cat became its emblem, immortalized above all by Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen (1859–1923), whose 1896 Tournée du Chat Noir poster is one of the most celebrated works of Art Nouveau graphic design in history. This journal presents a curated collage of vintage black cat posters from the Belle Époque era — Steinlen’s iconic Chat Noir alongside Nelly Littlehale Umbstaetter’s cover illustration for The Black Cat Magazine (1895–1922) and Edward Penfield’s About Paris (1895) poster, one of the finest examples of American Art Nouveau poster design — celebrating the black cat as a transatlantic symbol of artistic sophistication, bohemian freedom, and the graphic vitality of the fin-de-siècle.
