In this Art Deco poster, "SEITA promotes French-made smokes en masse, advertising their output with three oversized cigars thrusting diagonally skyward and an open flip-top package of cigarettes alongside them" (Crouse p. 220). Real, a largely unknown artist of only a couple of posters, designed this effective image in the vein of Loupot and Cassandre. Rare.

Crouse p. 220.
