About this work

This 1882 French theatre poster advertises the historical and scientific drama Denis Papin, ou l'invention de la vapeur, staged at the Théâtre de la Gaîté. The composition combines a central scene of an explosive steam mechanism and a struggling crowd with a circular portrait of the inventor and two smaller vignettes of workshop scenes, all framed by cast lists and a summer price table. The work is an anonymous 19th-century lithographic poster held by the Musée Carnavalet, Paris.
