JEAN D'YLEN [SMOKING CLOWN.] 1922. 781/2x511/4 inches. Vercasson, Paris. Condition B: paper loss in left margin, not affecting image; creases and restoration in margins. With his mouth full of Kir-Zade and Ly-Sa brand cigarettes, a clown dressed in shades of red is blowing lavender smoke against a maroon background. While graphically it would make sense to have the billowing smoke spell out some message, the design makes it impossible to decipher. It is also very difficult to imagine that this was originally a pro-smoking image.
