MEOW 🎶🐈‍⬛ Advertised in this poster by the iconic French artist, Jules Chéret, is a concert featuring a performance of "Duo des Chats." Composed entirely of the word "meow," this vocal performance tells the tale of two cats that are caught in what may be a fight or, a romantic conversation.
Poster depicting two cats on a rooftop during a crescent moon, the cats appear to be in a dispute. Below are two framed portraits of a woman and man that are the performers being advertised in the text. The text reads in French, "Conert-Promenade de L'horloge Champs-Elysées. Duo des chats.
