A delightful, authentic old pre-war poster with excellent graphics! It's the Mt. Cassel Carnaval d'Ete, taking place on Easter Monday. The poster measures about 21 by 31 inches, it is bright true red (quite a bit less orange than in the pics, sorry!), it features a French clown, and it comes with a separate 11 by 19" inch bill, giving specifics regarding the event. I purchased this poster in Cassel from the estate of the original collector. I believe the small newsprint-type bill was printed locally in French Flanders but the actual poster was designed and possibly made in Paris. The poster is in excellent condition, it's very bright and the paper is in good shape with only tiny damage along some edges. The little advertising bill is also in good shape in spite of not having as good quality to the paper as the big poster does. This poster would look nice is a standard 2 by 3' frame, with a black background, with- or without the yellow bill across its bottom. Nice enough condition and graphics to be a repro but NOT a repro! Rare!
