"Le Chat Noir" was a famous cabaret in Paris during the late 19th century, and Théophile Steinlen was a Swiss-born artist who created numerous advertisements and posters for the establishment. One of his most famous works is a lithograph poster featuring a black cat, which became the symbol of the cabaret.

The poster, which was created in 1896, depicts a black cat with bright green eyes sitting on top of a white fence, silhouetted against a bright yellow background. The cat is holding a red banner in its mouth, which reads "Le Chat Noir" in white letters. Below the cat is a line of text in French that translates to "The Montmartre establishment".

Steinlen's poster became hugely popular and was widely reproduced, becoming an iconic image of the bohemian culture of Paris in the late 19th century. The cat, with its sleek and mysterious appearance, came to represent the avant-garde and artistic spirit of the era.

Today, "Le Chat Noir" poster is considered a classic of Art Nouveau style, and it continues to be reproduced and celebrated in various forms of art and design.
