Created for the three-act operetta "La Rose de Minuit" (music by Max and Alex Puget, libretto by Paul Diolot), this piece perfectly embodies the sophisticated and glamorous aesthetic of the Parisian "Années Folles."

The illustration depicts an elegant female figure in a lavish jewel-encrusted gown typical of the high Art Deco period, adorned with pearls, ostrich feathers, and bold textures. The striking chromatic contrast between the deep black background, the vibrant red cape, and the cobalt blue details—highlighting the "midnight rose" held in her hand—creates a powerful and magnetic visual impact.

Printed at Atelier Dola in Paris (150, Blvd Montparnasse) and published by Éditions Max Eschig, this poster stands as a significant historical document of early 20th-century Parisian cultural life.
