About the Item
This electrifying original vintage poster was created in 1906 by Leonetto Cappiello, the visionary Italian-born artist widely considered the father of modern advertising. Commissioned to promote Pneumatiques Torrilhon, a tire manufacturer based in Clermont-Ferrand, the image captures Cappiello’s revolutionary use of bold graphics, exaggerated characters, and high-contrast compositions to captivate passersby and create instant brand recognition.
The artwork features a fiery red devil—eyes gleaming, mouth grinning—biting down on a gleaming white tire, which encircles his face like a snare. The message is humorous and effective: even the devil himself can’t destroy a Torrilhon tire. Set against a deep black background, the composition is visually arresting, with the devil’s red form and the silver-gray of the tire popping vividly from the darkness.
Leonetto Cappiello (1875-1942) was an Italian poster artist who worked in Paris. He is known for modernizing advertising design for the 20th Century. His compositions are uncomplicated and often feature a graceful figure with an oversized rendition of the product against a simple color background. The typography is often minimized to be as direct and short as possible. This innovation allowed for the advertising to be eye-catching and understood at a moment’s glance. It was ideal for the fast-paced travel and attention of busy city life.
This is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction. It is conservation mounted, linen backed, and in excellent condition. We guarantee the authenticity of all of our posters.

Leonetto Cappiello
Leonetto Cappiello was born in 1875 in Livorno, Italy, but took on the nationality of French in 1930. He first achieved fame as a caricaturist, then by inventing the modern poster and creating the first brand logos, including the green devil for Maurin Quina. A self-taught artist, he created his first paintings in 1886. In November of 1900, he signed his first contract with the publisher P. Vercasson, for whom he produced posters from 1902 to 1913. After World War I he joined the publisher Devambez, for whom he worked until 1936. In 1922, his poster sketches were exhibited at the Venice Biennial and the French Institut in New York. In 1928 his “Self Portrait” was ordered by the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy. In 1936 he participated in the Milan Triennial and the Exhibition of the French Poster in Prague. After his death in 1942, Cappiello’s work was the subject of retrospectives at the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris in 1947, the House of Culture in Livorno, Italy, in 1960 and the Grand Palais in Paris in 1981.
