This is an original 1927 black and white halftone print of four different American advertisements. The lower caption, in French, takes a critical look at the American values being exposed, such as the need to connect the product with a "
tranche de vie" ("slice of life") and the overall "
joie de vivre" as portrayed in the last advertisement. From the top: Clark candy bars, Brown bilt Shoes from Davis Dry Goods Co. in Chicago, Brookfield Butter and Semet-Solvay Coke.
