''Tournée du Chat Noir'' is a celebrated 19th-century poster created by Swiss-born French Art Nouveau painter and printmaker Théophile Alexandre Steinlen. Designed in 1896, the poster was an advertisement for the tour of the entertainers of the "Chat Noir," a famous Montmartre entertainment establishment. The establishment itself was a bustling cabaret and shadow theatre, founded by Rodolphe Salis in 1881, which became a hub for the bohemian and artistic crowd of Paris.

Steinlen's work is characterized by its iconic imagery, featuring a black cat with an arched back and elongated tail against a backdrop of a moonlit Parisian night. The cat's bold, staring eyes and commanding presence made the image instantly memorable and it has since become an emblem of the Montmartre bohemian lifestyle of the period. The poster's design reflects the influence of Japanese woodblock prints and the emerging Art Nouveau style, with its fluid lines and organic forms.

The ''Tournée du Chat Noir'' poster is not only a significant piece of advertising history but also an important work in the development of modern graphic design. It exemplifies the way commercial art could transcend its marketing purpose to become a piece of high art, admired for its aesthetic qualities and its cultural significance. Steinlen's work has been widely reproduced and remains popular to this day, often associated with the romantic and rebellious spirit of fin-de-siècle Paris.

Steinlen's contributions to the arts extend beyond this single poster; he was a prolific illustrator and artist, contributing to various periodicals and engaging in social commentary through his works. However, ''Tournée du Chat Noir'' stands out as one of his most enduring legacies, capturing the essence of an era and the allure of the Parisian nightlife that continues to captivate the imagination of audiences around the world.
