A chromolithograph advertising Denaturat, a denatured spirit sold as household fuel, is distinguished by its slogan, "Czystość, oszczędność" (purity, economy), which pitches the product on cleanliness and low cost. Printed in Warsaw in 1934 by the Straszewicz graphic workshop, it reflects the interwar Polish market for affordable fuel for cooking and heating in homes that lacked reliable gas or coal supplies. Commercial posters of this period often leaned on modern graphic design to make everyday products look efficient and hygienic. The record credits the design to an artist named Nowicki and lists the address Sandecka 34, which is worth noting when tracing the company behind the advertisement.
