Description

A bold Art Deco advertising poster depicting a fierce red cat lunging downward to catch a fleeing rat, with a stylized glass ampoule (vial) outlined on the cat's body to represent the liquid rat poison product. The French text reads 'Le Chat en Ampoules — Rat-Tox tue… Rats, Souris, Mulots, etc.,' meaning 'The Cat in Ampoules — Rat-Tox kills Rats, Mice, Field Mice, etc.' The vivid cobalt-blue background, dynamic diagonal composition, and flat graphic forms are characteristic of mid-20th-century French commercial poster design.
