Splendid engravings, large plates, printed separately by Henri du Cleuziou") promoting the purchase of a book by French astronomer and author, Camille Flammarion. The poster features great art by Leon Chouquet showing prehistoric giant cats (like saber tooth tigers) attacking primitive cavemen. We would think the setting is in Africa, but we could find no further information about this poster or the book it was promoting. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Artist: Leon Chouquet Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare pre-World War II French poster, which we have never auctioned before! 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?
