The title La Rigolbochomanie translates to "the Rigolboche-mania," referring to the intense public fascination with the dancer Marguerite Badel (1842–1920). Known by her stage name Rigolboche, she was famous for helping popularize and develop the can-can dance between 1855 and 1860, becoming a Parisian celebrity whose image was highly sought after.
