Condition B+: tears and minor losses at edges; abrasions and restoration along sharp vertical and horizontal folds. Two-sheets attached. Paper. An ad for a "gas saving" lamp, in which the artist cleverly plays off a competitor's brand. He evokes and alters Henrich Leffler's poster for Auer Licht, showing the subject lifting her head from her magazine to admire the new, brighter light.
