Weiluc (Lucien-Henri Weil) 
"Le Frou Frou"
 
This is a reproduction of a vintage poster, "Le Frou-Frou," created in 1900 by the artist Lucien-Henri Weil (pseudonym Weiluc). The poster was designed to advertise a new, risqué French humor magazine of the same name. The publication was a light-hearted, satirical magazine that ran from 1900 until the beginning of World War I. The image depicts a woman, perhaps a can-can dancer, sitting on a sofa with her legs prominently displayed in white petticoats and black stockings. The act of a woman smoking was considered provocative at the time, and the artist cleverly transformed the smoke from her cigarette into the title of the poster.

Magazine Details: Le Frou-Frou was a weekly, 20-page satirical publication launched in 1900 that covered Parisian life, featuring racy cartoons, anecdotes, and some of the first advertisements for condoms.
Design Significance: The poster was considered provocative for its time. It depicts a woman in black stockings and garters, secretly smoking a cigarette—an audacious act for women then—with the smoke artfully swirling to form the magazine's title.
