Condition A-: repaired tears and restoration in margins and corners; creases in image.
Although produced in the same year as his fabled Normandie poster, this image is more of an indication of the direction Cassandre's work would take once he moved to America in 1936. It is done in a "charming, dreamy" symbolic style based on Surrealism and, indeed, elements of Magritte can be seen, and is a "foreglimpse of Cassandre's later stage designs" (Mouron p. 71). Mouron 53, Train 267.
