1950’s French Advertising Poster – Sol-Amor Sunglasses, “Étiquette De Garantie”

Date: 1950s
Size: 17 x 36.5 inches

Sunglass Trivia: “The First Sun Protection Eyewear is 2000 Years Old – Crafted by the Inuit people, this eyewear protected hunters’ eyes and cut down on the intense glare from the snow during Arctic summers. The Inuit made their sunglasses by carving a narrow slot into a piece of whalebone or driftwood that allowed just enough space to look through without too much light getting in.” (eyeglasswarehouse.com)
A current nugget of Sol-Amor trivia centers around the fact that Johnny Depp wore a pair in movie Rum Diaries. (Now you know!)

Poster is in overall very good condition with minor edge-wear (please see photos) and small signs of aging. Ready to frame. Rare.
