how to authenticate 1920s french advertisement
« on: March 27, 2018, 05:28:43 PM »
this is a well known cigarette advertisement by David Dellepiane:

https://www.laffichiste.com/products/napoleon-le-nil-dellepiane

what sort of print technique am I looking for to determine if its a knock off or original ? would I see halftones of varied size in the original? anything else as indicia? thanks.

At 15x23 inches, it's a smaller size, too (the size of the one shown in your link).

Do you know if this poster was also printed in a larger size?
