I'd say that that the F in four is actually a stylized T. If you look at


No, the stylized T actually does look different (the swing on the left
curls up to the left of the stem, rather than crossing it to form an F,
as can be seen on the Long Road in the work 'The')

However there do seem to be other mistakes such as the spelling
of Intinmate in the Smokers picture. Maybe the posters are exact replicas


Didn't even see that.

of posters made by a Frenchman for an English market and the grammer she
is not so correct, Oui?


So does that mean Carassonne is correct rather than Carcassonne (a mistake
a French printer would likely not have made)? I rather believe these are
sloppily made prints. A shame actually as the pictures are quite nice,
especially the Long Road ahead one and the Sailing boat one..
And they don't look like the mistakes will ever make them valuable either..
