Description
Original stone‑lithograph advertising poster designed for placement in periodicals.
A superb Art‑Deco composition celebrating Lincoln’s arrival on the French luxury‑car scene. A sleek 1929 Model L sedan surges out of an architect’s aerial plan of Ford’s state‑of‑the‑art assembly plant, while a bronze‑toned medallion of Henry Ford reminds the viewer of the marque’s visionary founder. The French copy boasts an unprecedented “unlimited guarantee,” and the bold Saint‑Didier imprint pin‑points the importer’s chic address steps from the Elysée Palace.
Translation:
“Born from the brilliant mind of Henry Ford, the LINCOLN is built by the most powerful factories in the world.
It is the only car guaranteed ‘without limit’ against all manufacturing defects.”
Foreground: a crisply rendered Lincoln town‑sedan of the 1929 Model L series (note the deep‐valanced wings, artillery wheels and clamshell front bumpers introduced for that model year).
Background: an axonometric blueprint of Ford’s vast modern assembly works, underscoring industrial might and serial precision.
Inset medallion: a profile of Henry Ford, whose “cerveau génial” (brilliant mind) is extolled in the copy.
