This is one poster from a pair designed in 1922-23, in a style suggestive of a shadow show or silhouette, using the image of an old-fashioned tailor to promote sales events. Here he is seated in the traditional tailor's pose, with his measuring stick and scissors, juggling the letters in the firm's name. Baumberger no. 94, p.33.
