The woman has her eyes closed and a hand on the dial, and eight European cities are arriving on ribbons of colour. Leonetto Cappiello (1875 to 1942) designed the lithograph in 1925 for Radiola. Devambez printed it in Paris under the Les Nouvelles Affiches Cappiello imprint, and by 1925 Cappiello held an exclusive contract with Devambez.
The coloured waves fill the space around the listener, each carrying the name of a European city.
On the poster
A bare-shouldered woman rests her hand on the dial of a deep burgundy mantel radio, eyes closed. Multicoloured waves sweep outward in cobalt blue, cadmium yellow, sage green and pale violet. Each ribbon carries the name of a city the set could receive: Berne, Prague, Bruxelles, Madrid, Londres, Rome, Paris, Geneve. The footer sets the headline in two registers, white sans-serif above and outsized yellow display type below: "UNE SEULE MANOEUVRE avec le SFER-20 RADIOLA" (one single operation with the SFER-20 Radiola).
