Condition B+: tears and minor losses at edges; abrasions
and restoration along sharp vertical and horizontal
folds. Two-sheets attached. Paper.
An ad for a “gas saving” lamp, in which the artist
cleverly plays off a competitor’s brand. He evokes
and alters Henrich Leffler’s poster for Auer Licht,
showing the subject lifting her head from her
magazine to admire the new, brighter light.
