Pierre Couronne went to Paris at a very young age to learn to draw which he had perfected while attending the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. A little later, he specialized in the illustrations of advertisements, the most famous of which tout Peugeot, the Bic ballpoint pen, Omo laundry detergent, luxury products and many others such as the national lottery. BIC pens. He is much more widely known for his prolific career as a children's book author and illustrator. The Coralie series is just one of his many beloved French series.
Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn or stained. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the vintage charm. This poster has been stored folded, so there are crease marks which shouldn't be very noticeable under pressed glass.
These posters will be delivered in a cardboard backed envelope for protection.
