She is dyeing everything at once. A smiling woman in Alsatian costume spreads her arms and pulls lengths of blue, red and green cloth out of a row of wooden tubs. Albert Dorfinant, who signed as "Dorfi", designed the poster, and J.E. Goossens of Brussels lithographed it in the 1920s or 1930s. Her dress is the regional costume of Alsace-Lorraine: ochre shawl, white apron, black cap with a tricolour cockade.
Alsace-Lorraine had returned to France in 1918. The lettering reads "Teint tous tissus".
On the poster
The fabrics fall in broad flat planes of colour: cobalt blue to her left, cadmium red and forest green to her right. The tubs below hold dye baths in yellow and blue. The French text means "dyes all fabrics".
