Toulouse-Lautrec and the Golden Age of Cabaret
Toulouse-Lautrec's life was a triumph against adversity
and a sad reflection of the Belle Époque. He brilliantly
recorded the careers of leading cabaret artists including
La Goulue, Jane Avril, Yvette Guilbert, May Milton,
Cha-U-Kao and Aristide Bruant.
