| Description: A visually complex and compositionally stunning photo advertisement for a brand of Czechoslovakian photo film called "Esprit." The canisters are fanned out, creating bold word-repetitions, while the background illustrations bespeak family and pleasure outings. Esprit would seem to be appealing to a well-to-do leisure class. 1 |
