Description: 1930s Original Cappiello Poster « Je ne fume que le Nil » Size: 13 x 7 ½ inches (33,1 x 18,6 cm) Papier à Cigarette Joseph Bardou et Fils.Printer S.I.P. Paris This is a small decal poster that would have been transferred to a mirror in a bar, or to a shop window - therefore the image is reversed. The original poster for this design was printed in 1912. Leonetto Cappiello (9 April 1875 – 2 February 1942) was an Italian and French poster art designer and painter, who mainly lived and worked in Paris. He is now often called 'the father of modern advertising' because of his innovation in poster design. The early advertising poster was characterized by a painterly quality as evidenced by early poster artists Jules Chéret, Alfred Choubrac and Hugo D'Alesi. Cappiello, like other young artists, worked in a way that was almost the opposite of his predecessors. He was the first poster artist to use bold figures popping out of black backgrounds, a startling contrast to the poster’s early norm.
