Description

This evocative French poster advertises 'Les Gueules Noires' (The Black Mouths), a book by Emile Morel published by E. Sansot et Cie in Paris, featuring 15 lithographic illustrations by Steinlen. The central image depicts a procession of weary coal miners trudging across a bleak landscape, rendered in dramatic charcoal-like lithographic strokes that convey hardship and solidarity. On a wall, the dark tonal palette and raw figural composition make a powerful, intellectually sophisticated statement suited to literary and industrial-themed interiors.
