Disque Bleu Gauloises 1956 French Cigarettes Advertising Poster, Henri Favre

A striking original French advertising poster for Disque Bleu Gauloises, designed in 1956 by Henri Favre. With its rich blue background, bright yellow hat, floating smoke ring and crisp product illustration, the poster has a wonderfully clean and stylish mid-century presence. The design is simple, memorable and full of classic French advertising charm.

Gauloises is one of the most recognisable names in French tobacco history, closely associated with French popular culture and mid-century visual identity. Disque Bleu was promoted as a stylish modern cigarette, and this poster presents the brand with graphic confidence rather than heavy detail, using colour and shape to create instant recognition.

Henri Favre's artwork is elegant and highly effective, balancing the product pack with a few bold visual motifs. The sombrero-like hat and smoke ring add a touch of humour and personality, while the strong blue field gives the design tremendous wall impact.

This vintage advertising poster was originally rolled and has now bee professionally linen-backed. It is sized 46 1/4 x 62 1/2 inches (plus a little more with the linen) and will be sent rolled (unframed).
