Front: “Escale” perfume atomizer advertisement for Marcel Franck, “Fidèles serviteurs de l’élégance depuis 1880.” A dramatic black-and-white photograph (by Pichonnier) of ship rigging against a sunset sea, with the “escale” script rendered in glowing neon-style lettering, beside the faceted crystal Escale atomizer and its leather travel case. Marcel Franck is a highly collectible name among perfume-bottle and atomizer collectors.
Reverse: Le Galion, “Parfumeur à Paris” advertisement featuring a striking mid-century illustration — a woman’s profile in white against an olive-gold ground, watching a black horse silhouette run across a hillside. Signed by illustrator Claude Maurel, whose Le Galion ad work is actively sought after by vintage French fashion-illustration collectors.
Condition: Good vintage condition for its age; light general wear/toning consistent with a 1950s magazine page. Please review all photos, including the signature detail, for exact condition. These are 9x12" ads from the actual 1955 French beauty and style magazine
