FROM WIKIPEDIA: Congo Crossing is a 1956 adventure film directed by Joseph Pevney and starring Virginia Mayo and George Nader. Most of the exterior sequences were shot in the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden. Plot synopsis: Congotanga, West Africa, has no extradition laws; the government is controlled by foreign gangsters, headed by Carl Rittner (Tonio Selwart). The latest plane from Europe carries Louise Whitman (Virginia Mayo), (fleeing a French murder charge), and Mannering (Raymond Bailey), who pays resident hit man O''Connell (Michael Pate) to kill her. Through a chain of circumstances Louise, O''Connell, and heroic surveyor David Carr (George Nader) end up alone in the jungle on Carr''s mission to determine the true border of Congotanga... in which Rittner is keenly interested. Although vintage movie posters are not usually my thing, this one was just so over the top that I couldn''t resist... I love Peter Lorre looking evil over in the top left corner.

The history of every country can clearly be seen through its posters. Nowhere is this truer than in the case of China - a vast country with a rich and diverse history of poster art. Perhaps this was because posters presented an effective and colorful means of communicating messages to a broad multi-lingual population, or perhaps it was because, as always, posters could convey in images what politicians could only hint at in speeches -- whatever the reasons, Chinese propaganda poster art is a niche market in and of itself. After the Founding of the People''s Republic of China in 1949, and throughout the 1950''s and 60''s - particularly during the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution - Chinese poster artists were very active in terms of quantity and inventiveness. There are a huge variety of styles in the posters - some harsh, some naturalistic, some with the so- called ''sweet icing'' to give the people a more idealized look and to convey a more positive cheerful outlook... In short, there is something for everyone when it comes to Chinese propaganda posters. Many of the posters were calendars and product shots, occasionally (like here) incorporating a celebrity spokesperson. I like the Art Deco border which surrounds this poster and which is unusual in Chinese posters. Poster measures 14 x 28.5 inches, and is linen backed. Overall very good condition with small restoration evident in margins - none affecting image. This poster comes from the private collection of a noted author, collector and lecturer who has travelled widely in China and around the world. His poster collection is massive, and his knowledge quite legendary. He recently put together an exhibition of Chinese posters which was shown in national museums in Canada and France (this poster was part of that exhibition) and we are pleased and proud to have been asked to sell his posters.

Many of the posters were calendars and product shots with the calendar on the bottom (there is some image loss in the calendar section of the poster, and there has been restoration work to the top and bottom margin of the poster - none affecting the image, and the work doesnt at all detract from the integrity of the poster overall). The poster was designed by Shou He for the Changchun Co on Kaifeng, Shanghai, and the text says (in part) : we are specialized in illustrated card and poster calendars. Poster measures 20 x 30, was produced in 1935 and is linen backed. Overall B+ condition.

In short, there is something for everyone when it comes to Chinese propaganda posters. Many of the posters were calendars and product shots, occasionally (like here) incorporating a celebrity spokesperson. The woman featured was, I am told, the Chinese version of Amelia Earhardt (interesting that there was one in every country in the world, but I digress). She is shown in her spotless white gloves, in front of a plane (and if you look very closely you can see the red army guard working on the plane in the background), and the calendar is on the bottom (there is some image loss in the calendar section of the poster but it is nominal and doesnt at all detract from the integrity of the poster overall). The cigarettes featured are appropriately named World Hero and Pyramid - allusions to the greatness of the woman featured in the poster and the wonderful distances she had covered. I also like the Art Deco border which surrounds this poster and which is unusual in Chinese posters. Poster measures 20 x 30, was produced by in Sheng, for the Fu Xing Tobacco Co. in Macao in 1934 and is linen backed. Overall very good condition.

There is nothing more classically French than Ricard. Wikipedia (my source for all information) says: ''Pernod Ricard is a French company that produces alcoholic beverages. The company''s most famous products, Pernod Anise and Ricard Pastis, are both anise liqueurs, and often referred to as simply Pernod or Ricard. The company also produces several other types of pastis.Reborn from the Pernod Fils company as a producer of anise liqueur following the ban on absinthe, it is now a worldwide conglomerate. It owns the alcoholic beverage division of the former corporation Seagram, among many other holdings. In 2005, the company acquired British-based international competitor Allied Domecq plc. In 2008, Pernod Ricard announced the acquisition of Swedish-based V&S Group including Absolut Vodka.'' To the best of my knowledge the colors and branding of the company''s namesake product havent changed since this vintage poster was produced roughly 50 years ago. The colors are bold and vivid, the size is 23.5 x 12 inches, the poster was printed by the Ricard Distilleries itself. Overall excellent condition - Paper, linen backing.
