Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec experimented with the recently invented technique of lithography. In addition to fine art prints, he often created ephemera, including posters and sheet music—such as this example. It was commissioned as a cover illustration for <em>Nuit Blanche</em>, a poem by Jean Goudezki that was set to music composed by Désiré Dihau, a well-known bassoonist.
