This is quite the intriguing poster! Created for a play entitled, "Cocaine", it features a goblin representing the drug, lurching over the hill of Montmartre in Paris. He leers down at a woman addicted to the drug, as a band leers and taunts the victim. The Moulin Rouge and Sacre Coeur cathedral frame the flanks of the image. Paris in the 1920s was full of vice, and while Cocaine was legal in France at the time it did already have a stigma attached to it.
Rene Gaillard created several posters from the 1920s - 1950s, but unfortunately there is little biographical information on the artist.

What People Are Saying...

If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
