Comment(s): A scarce poster. Only three auction records in the past 25 years located. As Marechal states, "Warhol's zoomorphic creation for Lighthouse Footwear, combining a shoe with a snake, is as original as it is unexpected. Warhol's pen molded the snake into a shoe, making them one - an advertising tour de force uniting product and origin."
