VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage French poster advertising the "Côte d'Azur" cabaret and music hall. The design features Art Deco elements, with bold geometric shapes and vibrant colors that capture the exuberance of the era. At the top, in large yellow letters against a dark blue background, it reads "M.M. Gilbert & Jean Gaborit présentent," indicating the names of those presenting or promoting the event.
Below this header is an illustration of a stylized pineapple with palm leaves set against a seascape with waves rendered in shades of blue and yellow dots, suggesting either lights on water or perhaps champagne bubbles. A red sun (or possibly moon) dips low on the horizon line.
The main body text proclaims "Côte d'Azur Cabaret Dansant Music-Hall" in an arc over the image, emphasizing its function as both a dance venue and music hall. Underneath are phrases highlighting what to expect: "Le Music-Hall Les 'Midnight Girls,' Le Jazz 'Hot,' Le Tango 'Slow,'" which translates to English as: The music hall featuring 'Midnight Girls,' hot jazz, slow tango.
At bottom left corner there's mention of pricing or entry fee ("Conformation 25 Frs."), while at bottom right there's location information ("Place Blanche Paris"), indicating where this establishment was situated - Place Blanche in Paris.
Lastly, beneath everything else is credited "Décoration de Jean Gaborit," likely referring to either interior decoration for events held by these promoters or perhaps even responsible for designing this very poster itself.
Overall, this image captures a snapshot of nightlife entertainment from early 20th-century France through its graphic design style and typographic choices.
