Description
Gitanes. 1955.
In 1947, the maker of one of France’s best known cigarettes approached designer Max Ponty to create a new logo for them. The silhouette of a Spanish style dancer which evoked the Gypsy (la Gitane) that he drew became the firm’s trademark and product identification, still used to this day. This is a vintage Mirror picture depicting La Gitanes and from 1970. Some spotting to the rear of the mirror and slight wear. It is also signed to the bottom.
