Barbara Doumer c1940 French Music Hall Showgirl Poster, Maurice Harfort

Pure music-hall glamour. Maurice Harfort's poster for Barbara Doumer throws a spotlight on the showgirl in a blaze of pink feather fans, black ground and theatrical white — all movement, legs and unapologetic spectacle.

The design has that wonderful late inter-war / early-1940s French cabaret energy: elegant illustration with a slightly risqué edge. Harfort lets the performer do almost all the talking, with the bold blue name anchoring the composition below.

This original poster has been professionally linen-backed and is sized approx. 31 1/2 x 47 (plus a little including the linen-backing). It will be sent rolled (unframed).
