The annual Furriers Ball in Paris was advertised by such Art Deco luminaries as Charles Gesmar, Maurice Milliere and the unknown Asta Tigri who designed both this poster and the image for the same event the following year. This image, for the fifth ball, was also used on the cover of the evening's program.
