Description
George LEONNEC designed his last poster, for “Naja” cigarettes in 1939. Naja is Egyptian for cobra. The print was produced by Ozone et Co Caen - Paris which denotes that it is from the 1960s.
The print has the artist monogram ‘LG1939’.
SEITA stands for Société d’exploitation industrielle des tabacs et allumettes which was the French state owned tobacco company which also sold Gauloises and Gitanes both created in 1910.
Georges LEONNEC (French 1881 - 1940)
Georges Paul Albert LEONNEC, is a French illustrator known in particular for his funny illustrations in "Le Sourire" or "La Vie parisienne". The son of cartoonist Paul LEONNEC and brother of writer-director Félix LEONNEC and Jannik LEONNEC, artist. From the age of 12-13, he began to work with his father on caricatures for Parisian newspapers. Expelled from the Lycée de Brest because of a caricature of a teacher, he continued his studies in Paris.
In 1901 his first “professional” drawings were published in the review "Jean qui rit". In 1902 he published in "La Vie pour rire" and designed various works for periodicals such as "Le Rire", "Le Sourire" and "L'Assiette aueurre" as well as advertisements for the Byrrh firm, the Dufayel department stores and those "À l'Innovation" by Brussels. From 1900 to 1915 George LEONNEC led a life of "artist" which he shared with Élisa P. L’HOUEREUX, his first wife, from whom he was divorced in 1915.
During the war he boosted the morale of the troops with his frivolous and humorous drawings which depict an archetype of naughty Parisian who appears on the cover of different popular magazines.
After the war he began to work as an illustrator for "La Vie parisienne”. At the same time, he produced advertisements for companies such as Renault and Daimler. In 1916, he met Hortense LE RETIF, whom he married in 1923. She became the model for "La Parisienne". He produced sets for the Folies Bergère and the Casino de Paris.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
