LEONETTO CAPPIELLO (1875-1942) JE NE FUME QUE LE NIL. 47 1/8x62 7/8 inches, 120x159 cm. Vercasson, Paris. Condition A- / B+: tears and creases in margins. Paper. "Although the slogan reads 'I only smoke Nil,' Nil isn't actually a cigarette, but rather a brand of cigarette rolling paper. Nil claimed to be 'as tough as an elephant's hide' . . . so this was an easy marriage between product and posterist" (Rennert / Cappiello p. 156). Rennert / Cappiello 227.
