A splendid mural: naïve and extremely bad design.
The make up is dabbler's work:
The artist probably got some new typeface-templates for his birth day:
serif, sans-serif, small caps, undulating baselines, different colours,
it reminds me of the first days of desktop publishing.
The message isn't any better:
Sister (or is it nurse?)
Borel's tea attacks the root and not the branches. Poison tea for trees?
The copywriter rightly felt the need for some clarification.
He added an explanatory
scene: a clogged person with axe impersonates the tea cutting
disease played by the tree named maladie (or illness).
The need for this label proves the bad typecasting.
