The multilingual title “Lugano — Suisse • Southern Switzerland • Schweiz” appears above, emphasizing the region’s cosmopolitan appeal. Printed by A. Trüb & Cie. in stone lithography, this large-format poster is professionally backed on linen and preserved in excellent condition.

LOTERIE NATIONALE – TRANCHE DES SPORTS
Artists: Edgard Derouet and Charles Lesacq
Date: 1939
Original French poster for the Loterie Nationale – Tranche des Sports, created in 1939 by Edgard Derouet (1910–2001) and Charles Lesacq (1909–1940). The image depicts a strongman lifting barbells made of sacks of money, symbolizing the strength and reward of the national lottery’s sports edition.
Printed in Paris, France, this design reflects the clear geometric layout and bold visual language characteristic of late Art Deco French poster art on the eve of World War II. Both Derouet and Lesacq were recognized for their collaborations on public and commercial commissions, producing dynamic and accessible graphic work during the 1930s.
This is an authentic original printing issued by the French National Lottery in 1939. Professionally mounted on linen and preserved in excellent condition.
