A tall narrow poster for the Toulouse printing firm Cassan Fils, founded in 1851. A woman with long golden hair, in a classical dress that bares her shoulders, sits beside a printing press holding a printed sheet while a dark-skinned workman above her turns the press, and the words luxury artistic and commercial printing curve across warm ochre, brown and gold. The red firm name at the top and Toulouse at the bottom fix the ends of the panel; the flowing golden hair and the white sheet guide the middle.
