Le Montreur de Publicités

Advertising automaton  JAF - JOUETS & AUTOMATES FRANCAIS circa 1920

An artist from Montmartre, standing behind his portfolio and leafing through it, to present his works. His vigorous lines reveal a truculent character, casual but elegant. The wooden parquet base encloses an electrical mechanism with ten movements.

The most typical characters of the artistic world were used to attract the attention of customers, and to announce shows or bargains.
