Cappiello puts a red devil in charge of the lighting. A ring of bulbs surrounds him on black. Leonetto Cappiello (1875 to 1942) designed the poster in 1910 and Vercasson of Paris lithographed it for Fabius Henrion, the Nancy electrical equipment company. Cappiello had been under contract to Vercasson since 1900.
On the poster
A grinning red devil encircles himself with a ring of incandescent bulbs on a black ground. His antennae arc up toward bold golden-yellow lettering: "LAMPE OSMINE". Below it, in plain roman capitals: "FABIUS HENRION. NANCY." Red italic serif at the foot gives a Paris depot address.
