Attraction size, french bank, advertising 1933 original French Art Deco advertising poster for the French National Lottery (Loterie Nationale).
Poster Details
Artist: The poster was illustrated by André Galland (1886–1965), a French artist and journalist known for his work in children's books, magazines, and advertising campaigns.
Imagery: It features a smiling figure in a red cap and striped tunic holding large bags of gold coins against a large "Wheel of Fortune" background. The bag in the foreground is marked with "1.000.000," representing the top prize.
Context: The French National Lottery became immensely popular in 1933 after significant media coverage followed a barber, Paul Bonhoure, winning five million francs. The lottery hired some of France's top designers to create these posters, which are now considered highly effective historical advertisements. |
