Reprint of this famous poster, first sketched in c. 1907 and repeatedly withdrawn in various formats. In 1896, a Brussels pharmacist developed the thermogenic wadding that was manufactured until 1986; its international popularity was largely due to the poster by Cappiello (1875-1942) and his fire-breathing Pierrot.
