This is an ad I got from Advertising Art in the Art Deco Style by Theodore Menten. I believe these are fashion ads for Formenti, and the one at the top left is an ad for a comb (it's a little hard to see, but she's holding it in her left hand). There really isn't a lot of information beyond that in the book, but I liked these ads because they're definitely art deco style but are a little different from what you might typically see--the women are stylized, but there isn't any of the flowing hair detail or swirls most commonly associated with art deco. It'd be nice to be able to see them in color to compare them to other art deco ads.
