Artist: Raoul Edward Hem Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned an example of this poster three times, and that same poster has been reconsigned to us again, so this is STILL the only example we have ever auctioned! Note that this is an extremely rare pre-World War II French poster! Virtually no French posters survive from before, during, or right after World War II. Apparently there were many paper shortages in France during World War II, resulting in the destruction of almost all pre-World War II posters! What IS linenbacking?
