cm. Giraudy, Paris.
Condition varies, generally B+ / A-.
These stock posters (the blank area in each could be filled in with the names of stores) are stylistically
unique among Villemot’s work. The images of the people, delineated with a white outline against a
flat, monochromatic background, are unusual for the artist, as is the level of graphic sophistication
employed in showing a tailored-man emerging from a bolt of cloth. Villemot 317, 318.
