Cheret, Jules 33,5 x 90 THIS IS AN ORIGINAL POSTER AND NOT A REPRODUCTION. By the 1890s the streets of every great metropolis were enlivened by large colourful posters . The poster had not only caught the fancy of the broad public, but its best examples were already being regarded as works of art (specifically, as fine prints) to be exhibited, reviewed in journals, collected and reprinted in a manageable form. In the last five years of the century, the Imprimerie Chaix was to play great part in codifying, hallowing and perpetuating the ebullient period of 'La Belle Epoque.'Ê #1067   « Less

Cheret, Jules 11,5 x 15,75 (Framed to 12 x 17) This charming advertisement by the master of modern lithography, Jules Cheret, was produced in 1888 for the benefit of Emergency Night Shelters; announcing an exbŽhibition of French Art from the period of Louis XIV and Louis XV at the Ecole des Beaux Arts. It is a great example of French poster art and can be displayed with pride in any room of your home or business. This advertising poster measures 12 x 17, is in very good condition (with a minor tear roughly two and half inches about the seal of the Maitres on the far right hand side of the page - see close up photo - on the margin of the page. It is barely apparent and mentioned only for the sake of honesty.) The print is sold framed. #1068   « Less

Clerice, Francois & Victor 47 x 63 It has often been said that posterists looked at the human condition, or human situations, and took the best of them Ð this poster is certainly a tribute to that: the Ã’girlfriendÓ (gosse de riche is French slang for Ã’spoiled bratÓ) flapper-girl, is trying to hide on the sofa under a pile of pillows, while her gentleman friend attempts to head off his fiancŽ (and her parents!) at the front doorÉ One doesnÕt need a lot of imagination to see why this theater piece was the toast of paris in the early 1920ÕsÉ The detail in fashion and caricature is charming, and even with a limited palette, the Clerice brothers make it quite clear where their sympathies lie. Charles ClŽrice was born in Buenos Aires into a family of Normandy origins. The family moved to France after the death of father ClŽrice in 1881. Charles found employment as an illustrator and lithographer. The signature of ClŽrice appeared regularly in the early issues of La Semaine de Suzette in the 1910s, with comics featuring Arabs and Persians in the fairytale atmosphere of '1001 Nights'. Charles was sometimes helped by his brother Justin in the production of posters. These posters are mostly signed 'ClŽrice Frres'(http://lambiek.net) .This poster measures 47 x 63 and is mounted on period linen. It is a magnificent and amusing image and would make a fabulous statement in any room, loft or lobby #1071   « Less

Ferrand, Louis 15,5 x 20,5 In the past 100 years or so, the French government has put out some of the most interesting and artistic posters for the Loterie Nationale. While I wouldn't say that they are 'high art', they are not designed to be - they are supposed to appeal to what the French call Mr. & Madame Tout le Monde, what you and I would call Mr. & Mrs. Smith - uncomplicated folks who buy a lottery ticket because they don't expect to win, but they hope that maybe ... The posters are simple and sweet, like this lovely (and very early) one done by Louis Ferrand. Printed by Les Estampes de la Loterie Nationale and numbered 1035, it is entitled Le Guichet de la Loterie Nationale (roughly translates as the ticket booth of the lottery). I can find no particular information on this artist but would date this piece as having been produced within the first 20 years of 1900. #1077   « Less

Gamy (Marguerite Campion) 17 x 31,5 Having observed the rapidly growing interest in cars and racing during the early years of motor cars, Ernest Montaut produced his first motoring prints in the mid-1890s, and by 1897, his drawings were pictorial records of the many races in France. Montaut's work was extremely well received in the Paris of his day and was shown in the fashionable shops of the Rue de l'Opera and Rue de la Paix, as well as in the better galleries.Marguerite Montaut, Ernest's wife, joined him in his work. While Marguerite Montaut's works were occasionally signed 'M. Montaut', she also used the name 'Gamy', an anagram for Magy.The Gamy-Montaut prints were all produced by the pochoir process in which the outlines for each image were drawn onto lithographic stones and printed. Using these uncoloured prints as a template, elaborate stencils were cut for each colour. Water-colour was then brushed onto the image through the stencil. The colouring process was quite complex, with each print taking several days to produce. It was also quite labour intensive, and the studio of Gamy-Montaut therefore employed a group of trained artists, including Nevil and Campion, to assist in the colouring. One of the elements of this piece we which love is the inclusion of horsebacked cavalry riders next to the automobiles which would soon replace them - the date of the piece, 1914, makes clear that change, and war, was just around the corner. #1081   « Less

Goldenbaise 24,5 x 39 It would be hard to find a more classically Deco image than this one which was purchased recently in Europe. Advertising a department store where things are well made but not expensive, this happy couple seems to have done well on their shopping expedition, if judging only from the number of packages hanging off their arms and their happy expressions. Artist signed Goldenbaise, and dated 1935, printed by Marci Affiches, we have had this poster lined to protect its investment value and physical integrity. We think it is an impressive and interesting tribute to Deco artistry and would make a great addition to any collection. Overall excellent (A) condition - Paper, linen backing. Poster measures 23.5 x 15 inches.   « Less
