Theatrophone: In this poster, Cheret uses an elegantly appointed female to promote the "theatrophone," a popular telephonoic system that allowed subscribers to listen to opera and theatre performances over the telephone.
Cheret is considered to be the "Father of the Poster", having perfected the printing process used to create these lithographs.
