Original Vintage Poster for Mossant Hats dating from 1938 by Leonetto Cappiello.
Artist: Leonetto Cappiello
Title: Mossant
Date: 1938
Size: 47.25 X 63 in / 120 X 160 cm
Printer : Editions Nouvelles Cappiello, EDIMO, 15 rue Galvani - Paris
Materials and Techniques: Colour lithograph on paper

Condition: A (Normally designates a poster in very good condition. Colours are fresh and there is very little or no paper loss. Any imperfections are marginal and unnoticeable).
Additional Details:
The headquarters Mossant was founded in 1833 by Casimir Mossant.
The company is developing thanks in particular to the development of the railway, which allows for distant supplies and expeditions.
In the 1920s, the firm Mossant is at its peak. The factory employs 1,200 workers and produces up to 2000 hats per day, nearly half of which is in the United States.
After 1929, the economic crisis affected exports and the company diversified its production of felt (bags, berets, ...). Hat manufacturing activity declined and, in the 1950s, the factory's activity was converted into apparel until 1985, when the company was wound up.
