Stunning large enamel advertising board of the iconic Belgian cigarette brand Tigra.

Angelina Saey was a model in Antwerp and was from Latvia.
She posed as a tiger girl for the packaging of the cigarette brand Tigra.
She was also wearing the black mask on the face of manufacturer Belga.

It was the American artist Al Moore who was hired by the manufacturer Vander Elst to immortalize her.
In the 1950s and 1960s, she grew into a sex symbol.
In 1979, she was found in her villa in Brasschaat by her husband, diamond dealer Jozef De Roeck, and their two sons.
She was lying in a large pool of blood with a noose around her neck.
A second autopsy revealed that it was murder, disguised as suicide.
