A man stands on a ladder pasting a bill for "La Publicité" onto a wall, the kind of street-level advertising that filled French cities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Posters of this sort were printed by the thousands, and their bold lettering and bright colors turned plain walls into public billboards. Placed among the ballooning images on this board, the picture reminds us that the same lithographic printing and eye-catching design also promoted aeronautical events and products, so it adds a commercial angle to a collection otherwise focused on flight.
