Le Chat Noir grew so popular after a few years that it moved to larger premises, marking the event with a bombastic procession. Bohemians and bourgeoisie alike flocked from near and far to the colourful medieval-inspired interior to watch performances of the shadow theatre. When these were taken on tour, Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen designed the poster with the black cat as an advertisement. The image went on to become the icon of printmaking and the culture of entertainment in the fin de siècle.
