About The Poster: Jean Carlu started his career as a professional poster-designer in 1919, after a competition by a producer of dental aids in 1918. From 1919 until 1921 he served as an illustrator, after which he worked at an agency that designed advertisements. In that period he designed his first poster in Art Deco style ..  he was attracted by cubism and was one of the first who realised that to fix a trademark in the minds of consumers a process needs to be gone through in which schematic forms and expressive colours are applied. These are the characteristics that give his posters and other works their distinguishable quality. This poster is, to me, one of Carlu's most impressive works: It is clean, it is precise, and uses imagery and colors to maximum effect.  It is, in short, quite perfect. It is in very good condition and linen backed.
