This poster is an excellent example of how the modernist poster spread from Paris to the provinces of France. Printed in Lyon for a hosier in Vienne (near Lyon) by a local artist, this poster of a young woman arranging a man's bow tie is archetypal of the French Art-Deco school. Against the black background, the orange of his shirt and the woman's back add a sensuous vibration to the scene. Clean typography completes this quality poster.
