Note that this is a mysterious poster! The woman depicted is French singer and actress Gaby Deslys, who was extremely popular throughout the world in the 1910s. However, some suggest that this poster was part of a hoax perpetuated by a group of humorists, and Fap'Anis never existed.

The poster had many vertical creases and tears scattered throughout (or they were acquired after it was backed). The poster was mounted onto a thin linen with no restoration, (or, as I said, its defects were acquired after). The poster should absolutely be removed from the thin linen and re-backed.
