Mistinguett


One usually thinks of Mistinguett as a French music-hall star of the 1920's-30's paired with Maurice Chevalier, but she apparently also enjoyed an earlier career as a cancan dancer, as the above poster would indicate.  This is from an EBay France auction, where you can see a larger version of this poster and also another more famous one from later in her career.:
