This margarine poster shows Cappiello using two of his favorite devices: an outsized product and twinned figures. But instead of the pair of Pierrots we often find, the couple is a turbaned moor representing the African source of the product’s coconut oil, and a chef in toque who is delighted with the results. “As good as butter and cheaper,” boasts the bottom text.
