Les Rigolos (c.1930) is a rare original French film poster produced for Cinédis and directed by Jacques Sévérac. Featuring evocative artwork by Capen, the design depicts two figures beneath a bridge overlooking a harbour at dusk, rendered in a distinctly Art Deco palette of teal, grey and salmon tones. Printed in Paris by Jules Simon, it is an atmospheric and uncommon example of early French cinema advertising from the golden age of lithographic poster design.
