Vitrolite, 1929
Illustrator: possibly Charles Turzak.

An interesting figure, and if it is him, a nice example of someone that crossed the line from profane to sacred with great ease. But, as I say, I'm not sure about the provenance.
This copy stood out: "No bathroom is too pretentious to warrant using a material other than Vitrolite." I'm still trying to parse that one.
The font, Kabel, was cutting edge in 1929, having come out the year before.
