A woman’s face sits inside a whirl of amber hair, its outer rings spreading across black. Raoul Vion designed the image known as The Comet, which L’Oréal’s Heritage archive dates to around 1910. The sheet credits Imp. G. Delattre as printer. Eugène Schueller founded the Société Française des Teintures Inoffensives pour Cheveux in 1909, the business that became L’Oréal.
On the poster
A woman's face sits at the centre of a swirling vortex of amber and golden hair, the spiral sweeping outward in broad concentric bands against a deep black ground. The face takes a handful of confident strokes: pale skin, a dark eye, a slight smile. The hair fills the sheet in waves of orange, gold and burnt sienna. Above, "L'OREAL" in large olive-gold bold capitals. Below, "Teinture Inoffensive pour Cheveux" (harmless hair dye) in pale blue-green lettering, with the printer credit "Imp. G. Delattre".
