D'APRES LEONETTO CAPPIELLO LE THERMOGENE. Circa 1920s. 20x371/2 inches. Dehon & Co., Valenciennes. Condition B+: extensive expert overpainting in image; abrasions, repaired tears and creases in margins and image. Three sheets. This product, "a type of soft cotton wadding used to wrap affected areas of the body" (Medicine and Pharmacy p. 57) works to cure "Coughs, rheumatism, pains in the side etc". Judging by the smile on the fire breathing pierrot, a green man, clutching an orange heating pad to his chest against a winter village scene, the product must work wonders! An unusual and rare variation on Cappiello's famous poster.
