 - Ten original designs of costumed female performers in cabarets and dance halls, most likely created as working costume designs since a few have fabric and accessory notes written on them. Five of them are specifically labeled for performances at the famous Moulin Rouge and Ambassadeurs venues in the Montmartre district of Paris, home to a thriving bohemian nightlife scene famously documented by the artist Henri Toulouse-Lautrec and others. Most of the drawings are dated 1910. The costumes themselves combine innocence and sexuality -- girlishly feminine floral motifs and fabrics slyly subverted with sexy cutouts showing off legs, midriff, cleavage and occasionally bare breasts. The drawing style combines delicate pencil lines and light watercolor washes to depict women with stylized, smiling faces and tiny hands and feet. All but one are signed on the front, and many have written notes on the back giving titles and dates.
