{"product_id":"pelican-poster-cigarettes","title":"Pelican Cigarettes","description":"\u003cp\u003eCharles Yray's delightful 1925 advertisement for Pélican Cigarettes captures everything wonderful about French poster design between the wars, wit, elegance, and visual boldness in perfect harmony. A stylish pelican with glamorous lashed eyes holds a lit cigarette in its magnificent yellow beak, casting a dramatic shadow against an electric green background while gazing at its namesake tin of Virginia tobacco.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe composition exemplifies Art Deco sophistication: bold geometry, flat color planes, and that characteristic blend of modernity and whimsy that made French commercial art the envy of the world. Yray's pelican is simultaneously absurd and elegant, a creature that might have wandered out of a Jazz Age nightclub. The curling smoke creates sinuous arabesques that echo the organic lines of Art Nouveau while the angular shadow anchors the design firmly in the Deco era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted by EDIA in Paris, this poster represents commercial art at its most ambitious, transforming a simple cigarette advertisement into something collectors still treasure a century later. A standout piece for admirers of French graphic design and the golden age of advertising.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 31.0\" x 23.5\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Charles Yray\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
