HENRY MONNIER CORDON BLEU. 1926.
61x411/2 inches. Lutetia, Paris.
Condition B+: restored losses in top margin.
Against a red background, a red-head in a blue dress is sitting on white, blue and orange boxes bearing her image; lettering in yellow. The viewer is enchanted both by the woman's joy (obviously a result of her using this fine product) but also by the clever graphic technique of repeating her image in all of the box labels.
