Catalogue Note: Leonetto Cappiello (Italian/French, 1875-1942) was a prolific advertising artist around the turn of the century and is now known by many as "the father of modern advertising". This poster, produced around 1912 was for the Le Nil company, which actually produced the rolling papers for cigarettes, not the cigarettes themselves. The translation reads "I only smoke Nil", and other advertisements claim that the papers are "as tough as elephant's hide."Condition
Excellent visual condition with very minor wear, frame with some scattered minor wear. Not examined out of frame.
