Le Chat noir is a weekly magazine created by Rodolphe Salis and Emile Goudeau, published from 1882 to 1897, with the aim of promoting the famous cabaret of the same name, serving as its memory. It published texts recited during the shows. It is, moreover, an important literary and artistic testimony of the end of the 19th century, around bohemian life and the Parisian effervescence that characterized it.
