An original poster realized by Fonteneau to promote the Alcazar - Cabaret - Show

Circa 1970

Original poster of the 80s of the Alcazar of Paris. In 1968, Jean-Marie Rivière, future director of the Paradis Latin, opened the Alcazar, a cabaret where transformist shows and "feathered" revues were offered.
