Vintage advertising blotter for the "Crème Eclipse" brand, a product of the Société Générale des Cirages Français. This document features the iconic visual with two opposing lunar faces (joy and sadness), used as the brand's graphic signature. Designed to be placed on a desk to absorb ink, it combines utility and advertising, with an explanatory drawing of the product in use. A typical example of early 20th-century promotional materials, both simple and effective.
