L’Huile Aeroshell. 1930.
The typography is perhaps the only giveaway that this image was created during the Art Deco period; otherwise, it could almost be mistaken for a contemporary design. “Like Cassandre in France and McKnight Kauffer in England, Francis Bernard absorbed the influences of the art and design movements of his era: Cubism, Purism, Machine Age, Constructivist typographic design and photomontage” (Bernard introduction). Several scholars lament the fact that Bernard was largely overlooked in his day; he was perhaps too Avant Garde for the tastes of the time. But this stylish photomontage seems ripe for appreciation now. Rare!

Condition: B/ Slight tears and stains, largely at edges.
