This advertisement was an extension of the ‘yuefenpai’, or calendar poster, China’s earliest form of commercial art. The calendar poster originally only showed illustrations of foreign products, before evolving into the ‘beautiful lady’ calendar posters, or ‘meinu yuefenpai’, in which beautiful women took centrestage.
