 There is something about a great poster, well several things really that occasionally elevate "just a poster" to something approaching really great art! We love the long history that posters have in popular and populist culture, both above ground and below ground. Early 20th century poster art has some really great examples.

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec painted what he knew, and he knew the Moulin Rouge.  He helped introduce the soon to be famous Parisian nightclub to the world through his illustrations and prints.  He maintained a life-long relationship (although it was very short lived.  Sadly, Henri died at the age 36) with the nightclub and many of it's most famous patrons and dancers.   This image was from the cover of La Revue blanche, a French art and literary magazine which ran between 1889 and 1903.
