About MeThis poster was designed to promote the ice rink, or Palais de Glace. The Palais des Glace was one of the most popular attractions of Belle Epoque Paris.Ice skating became less fashionable in this decade whilst did tango dancing gained increasing social acceptance. In December 1893 the Palais de Glace was converted into an elegant dance hall and played an important role in the promotion of this new dancing phenomenon.
