Elegant elephant-shaped die-cut advertisement for Le Nil cigarettes. Made of embossed and die-cut cardboard, it features a mobile system allowing the animal's head to pivot. Its orientalist graphics, very characteristic of tobacco advertisements from the 1920s-1930s, make it a particularly attractive decorative piece. Articulated die-cut advertisements of this type are significantly rarer than posters or flat cardboard signs and are now sought-after items for collectors of tobacco and old advertisements.
