Theater Program for Sleeping Beauty, Silver Wedding, and Ahasvère 1893

This color lithograph by Henri-Gabriel Ibels depicts a scene from a Parisian café, likely in the Montmartre district. The artwork is part of a program for the theatrical plays *Sleeping Beauty*, *Silver Wedding*, and *Ahasvère*. The image captures the casual atmosphere of the café, featuring patrons lost in reading newspapers and a waiter in the background. Ibels's distinctive style, characterized by bold lines and flat colors, is evident in this artwork, which exemplifies the artistic trends of the late 19th century in France. This program, dating back to 1893, provides a glimpse into the artistic and cultural life of Paris during that period.
