Georges lepape, art deco illustrator, has collaborated with vogue, vanity fair, harper's bazaar, among others. Gilded painted wood frame and glass protection. Signature: lepape. Text: the colors of the bodywork. It would seem that only black automobiles are elegant and that a mourning uniform necessarily comes to sadden the fashion that governs them. Leaving it to others to revolt against the outdated hoods and bodies, lepape evokes only the fantasy of colors. The colors of the bodywork by lepape. Good vintage condition. Note, the corners of the illustration are damaged. Hole in the wood of the frame to hang it. Please take a good look at the descriptive photographs. You can enlarge them. Circa: 1924.
