Actually, it isn't. And this isn't a poster either, but an advertisement.
Oh well.
Technicolor was beautiful movie color, irrespective of it not being really natural. It was sort of more natural than natural. It actually evolved, and pretty significantly, from when the process, which I'll skip the details on, was first introduced.
The first Tecnicolor motion picture, using the first process, was released in 1917. That movie, The Gulf Between, required a special projector and had a limited run. Of course, it's now a lost film, destroyed in a fire in 1961, with only some snippets remaining.

The second technicolor movie was 1922 The Toll Of The Sea, which didn't require a special projector and which is still around.
