The delivery man has walked out of the sea with an oyster basket on his head. The poster is for Prunier, the Parisian seafood and shellfish house founded in 1872, and it advertises a delivery service for the firm's fish and oysters. The slogan is "Livre Vite et Bien" (Delivers Fast and Well).
The poster was printed by Daudé Frères, Paris.
On the poster
A delivery man strides out of the sea with an oyster basket on his head, a large orange-red fish under his arm and a steaming chafing dish raised aloft. Small sailboats recede into the blue-grey water behind him, and his feet throw up white surf. The ground is black, the display type is hand-lettered in yellow-gold, and the figure is a bold silhouette.
