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, of which it intended to be the record. It published texts declaimed during the performances. It is, moreover, an important literary and artistic testimony of the late nineteenth century, around the bohemia and the Parisian effervescence that was its own.
