French Original Advertising Poster 31" x 46" EX-NM C8-C9 Linen Backed Ready for Framing

Features an exotic woman with a Hookah surrounded by curls of smoke. She advertises a machine rolled cigarette, which would have been a luxury product when most smokers still rolled their own. This poster has elements of Art Nouveau style, such as curvy lines and ornamentation, but the artists use of color and contrast show the poster moving towards Art Deco.
