''Attitude is everything in the several Terrot bicycle posters Tamagno created at the turn of the century. In all of them a young lady stays way ahead of the competition, effortlessly distancing an airplane, besting a locomotive coming on at full speed, or cycling breezily through mountainous terrain, be she a blonde or, as seen here, a brunette. And though she can traverse a pass one handed, this feisty female - as is always the case in a Tamagno Terrot poster - doesnt neglect to let the competition know in no uncertain - if not precisely ladylike - terms who''s the champ. Terrot bikes were successful enough during the 1890s, but the firm really came into its own with motorcycles as of 1901, remaining in business until the 1960s with one of the best makes in France.'' (Rennert) Some of the other elements to note in this particular poster are the fact that the lady is riding astride the bike - which would make it a later version of a bicycle, because previous bikes were ridden sidesaddle, like horses. (It was considered improper for women to ride with something between their legs...). Also, the woman is ahead of the man, another thing which would have been unheard of prior.... THe expression on the man''s face is quite priceless. This is the smaller version of the poster (measuring 9.5 x 18 inches, A- condition with slight tears in margins) with the dark haired woman.

One of the things about posters produced during the first (and second) World War is the fact that even the most banal and basic messages took on added and poignant importance. There are a myriad of posters available in all languages which implore the populations to conserve tobacco so that the soldiers (''our boys on the front'') can have enough tobacco for their cigarettes, or cigars, or pipes... This poster falls within that category. In an upturned soldiers helmet, the message is clear ''use less so they have more''. A small, and well conserved gem. Poster is in excellent condition, mounted in linen and measures 14 x 21 inches.

There is just SO much going on in this poster! Choubrac had a great deal of skill and his posters (we have a few others in the gallery) always exhibit a little goofiness, wackiness and just all- around silliness that we like and admire - just look at the facial expressions of the character in this circus scene. I don''t know who Brunin was, but I have to imagine this was some kind of traveling sideshow troupe that was popular in France and other countries in Europe at the turn of the century. The artist was one of the pioneers of French poster art: in 1884 when Maindron published his first article on posters, he listed only nine active posterists known to him, and included three poster artists whose work made up the first poster exhibition, held that same year in the Passage Vivienne in Paris: Alfred and leon Choubrac, and Jules Cheret. Choubrac did a variety of posters for events in the Trianon, of which this was one. Poster is in excellent condition, mounted in linen and measures 37 x 51 inches.

Christy, Howard Chandler 17 x 26 This wonderful and moving poster combines the work of a very well known American poster artist - Howard Chandler Christy - and the premature death of an equally prominent American humorist and social commentator, Will Rogers. Christy's Poster, produced in the year of Rogers' death (1935) includes his usual Christy girl (here shedding a tear - unusual for his women), as well as the traditional Western wear for which Rogers was known. Christy (January 10, 1873ÑMarch 3, 1952) was an American artist famous for the Christy Girl', similar to a 'Gibson Girl'. His posters which were produced during the First World War (If I Were A Man, Fight or Buy Bonds, I Want You for The Navy, were instant classics, and are now collected and guarded jealously by afficionados worldwide). Christy was born in Morgan County and attended early school in Duncan Falls, Ohio. He then studied in New York at the National Academy and the Art Students League under William Merritt Chase. He first attracted attention with his illustrations of the Spanish-American War, published in Scribner's and Harper's magazines and in Collier's Weekly, gaining especial prominence with the series, 'Men of the Army and Navy,' and a portrait of Colonel Roosevelt. He was best known, however, for his charming illustrations of the works of such authors as Richard Harding Davis and he created a picturesque and romantic type of society women peculiarly his own. His work is characterized by great facility, a dashing but not exaggerated style, and a strong sense of values. ÊThe subject of the Poster, William Penn Adair Ã’WillÓ Rogers (November 4, 1879 Ð August 15, 1935) was a Cherokee-American cowboy, comedian, humorist, social commentator, vaudeville performer and actor. He was the father of U.S. Congressman and WWII Veteran Will Rogers, Jr. Known as Oklahoma's favorite son,[1] Rogers was born to a prominent Indian Territory family. He traveled around the world three times, made 71 movies (50 silent films and 21 'talkies'),[2] wrote more than 4,000 nationally-syndicated newspaper columns,[3] and became a world-famous figure. By the mid-1930s, Rogers was adored by the American people, and was the top-paid movie star in Hollywood at the time. Rogers died in 1935 with aviator Wiley Post, when their small airplane crashed near Barrow, Alaska Territory.. This poster is in very good condition - mounted on paper, cut close on all four sides, no margin, pinholes in four corners - but B+ overall. Measures 17 x26. #1070   « Less

The simplicity of Art Deco never fails to grab our attention: product placement is front and center, colors are used to their fullest and the message is loud and clear. What''s not to like? Clerice Freres - Francois and Victor to be more precise - worked in France for many years (this is one of their earlier works) producing lasting images and posters for theater, liquor companies like this one (and Dubonnet among others) and almost always featuring beautiful women (hey, lovely ladies always helped to sell products...) This small gem was produced in 1911, and measures 13.5 x 17 inches is linen backed, and is in excellent condition. Other poster dealers on-line and off are selling this same piece for upwards of $750+ USD. .Please note that all of our posters are vintage, non-reproduction works of art. Thank you!

Mory 30,5 x 46 For me, the best French posters of the Art Deco period (and although I can't date this poster with precision I would put it in the 1920's/1930's) are the ones which use color well, which execute the message clearly and which place the product front and center - just like this one. Kind of hard to balance a tray on your flat head, be totally red-faced AND smiling all at the same time, but somehow this devilish fellow manages it all with aplomb, don't you think? I think this piece would look great in a kitchen, dining room (either residential or commercial), bar, restaurant... the possibilities are endless! It is linen backed and in very good condition.

According to research this Tophat Cigarettes Advertising Poster has an unusual and fascinating history. Evidently, ''In 1945 and 1946 the American forces set up a series of camps to bring their troops home after the end of World War II. The camps, most of which were located in France, were named after a brand of American cigarette, a desirable and valuable commodity (Camp Lucky Stripe, Camp Pall Mall, Camp Chesterfield, etc.). Tophat, a virtual city comprised of thousands of black 20-man tents was set up on the outskirts of Antwerp, Belgium in close proximity to its world-class harbor. Unlike the French ''cigarette camps'' it was named for the unit that built it, which had a tophat as their unit symbol. However, a Belgian cigarette company manufactured Tophat Cigarettes so it became unintentionally a ''cigarette camp'' after all. The linen backed lithograph poster by an anonymous American artist measures approximately 13'' x 22'' It is in excellent condition and is linen backed. $450.00 Please note that all of our posters are vintage, non-reproduction works of art.
