MAURICE LAURO (1878-?) STÉ MARITIME NATIONALE MÉDITERRANÉE / TUNISIE. Circa 1930. 39x24 inches, 99x61 cm. Hachard & Cie, Paris. Condition B+: repaired tears, creases and overpainting in margins and image. Lauro specialized in depicting people. This is one of his rare attempts at a purely Machine Age image. He seems to have borrowed some design elements from Cassandre, as one is reminded of several of Cassandre's posters, Saga (1927), Nord Express (1927) and Londen (1928). This poster exists with several text variations.
