Ames, Ottawa Greetings: You asked me to tell you a story about how it came into my mind to pay a little towards 'War Money.' I heard there was a big war going on over there and I feel like I want to help you some way and the best I can do is to send a little money for I can't go myself as I am nearly blind. This is to show you I like to help you. I am an Indian. I heard that other Indians were going to give 25c. each out of their treaty money. I give $1.50 out of money from the Government for beef I sell the agency. I am about 50 years old and my wife and two sons are living with me and my son's wife and her child. That is the way I make up that $1.50 - - 25c. each for six. I shake hands to you, (Sgnd) Moo-che-we-in-es."

"Whilst studying engineering at Kings College, London, Cyril Kenneth Bird also attended evening classes in art in order to follow his preferred profession as an artist. He joined the Royal Engineers in 1914 but was badly wounded at Gallipoli in 1916. During his recuperation he started producing cartoons; these were published in Punch and other magazines and established his future career. He adopted the name 'Fougasse' from a small land mine used by the Royal Engineers which might or might not hit the mark. From 1937 to 1948, he was Art Editor for Punch. During the Second World War, Bird devoted himself to producing propaganda of all kinds for nearly all government ministries as well as many charities. All of his work was given free. The poster design demonstrates the need to attract public attention in the face of an onslaught of posters. The humor is quick and the wide margin and red border give the image space to be noticed. Bird's work, especially the 'Careless Talk' posters, was widely appreciated both during and after the war" ( Imperial War Museum). Images available upon request.

"After the German occupation of Belgium in May 1940, a Belgian Government in Exile was set up in London, while in 1942 the Belgian League was established to organise resistance to the Germans. The purpose of this poster was presumably to encourage support within America for the Belgian resistance cause. In the diagonal sweep of the composition, the image of the bound prisoners facing the German firing squad is counteracted by the avenging Belgian soldier and the thrust of the fighter aircraft. The name of the artist, R. Sturbelle, suggests he was himself Belgian" ( V&A Museum). With New York text at bottom. Rare. V&A E.276-2004.
Lot: 63 - Alexey Brodovitch, Libertad De Palabra. 1942.
Alexey Brodovitch 1898-1971 Libertad De Palabra. 1942. Condition A-: minor creases and abrasions at edges; linen trimmed to edges. Originally a Russian émigré to Paris, when Brodovitch moved to the United States, he became a major influence on American graphic design. From his position as Art Director of Harper's magazine and later as a teacher at his own design laboratory, he brought the European avant-garde to America. From 1936 onwards, Brodovitch's work began to show a strong Surrealistic influence, which is evident in this powerful and poignant image. In 1942, the Office of Inter-American Affairs, headed by Nelson A. Rockefeller, commissioned some of the most preeminent modern American designers of the day to create posters for distribution in Latin America. The other artists were E. McKnight Kauffer, John Atherton and Herbert Bayer. Atypically progressive artistically, these posters, which appeared early on in America's involvement in the war, were intended to sway Latin American opinion against the Axis powers and to increase the solidarity of the Western hemisphere. Each of the posters in this series highlighted one or more of Theodore Roosevelt's Four Freedoms as stated to the U.S. Congress in January, 1941: Freedom from Fear, Freedom From Want, Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion. This is the smaller format.

Combining the legend of Paul Revere and the visual horrors of World War II, Flagg has created an intense image of Uncle Sam on horseback, his jacket off, as he is urging his mount to speed up, a fiery swastika in the dark gray sky behind him. "The poster was called "Wake Up America" originally, but the title was changed later" (Flagg p. 40). Two International News Photos from the 1940s show Flagg posing with a copy of this poster, in each image he is dressed as Uncle Sam, because, just as with his I Want You poster, he used himself as the model for this image.

His pictures had appeared in many books and some of the most popular magazines of the period, such as Century, Harper's Monthly, Ladies' Home Journal, McClure's, Outing, and Scribner's, illustrating stories such as Treasure Island , Robin Hood, and Robinson Crusoe.

This poster was "Reprinted through courtesy of Vultee Aircraft / by Commercial Textile Mills, Inc. / Martex Print Works, Inc., Clifton, N.J." This image of the pilot and plane was used in a 1943 ad for Vultee, entitled "The man we look up to!" and this poster is a rare variant and format. John Falter was one of the leading American illustrators of the 20th century. Born in Plattsmouth, Nebraska, he studied art in Kansas City and New York. He is best known for creating 129 cover paintings for The Saturday Evening Post over a 25-year period beginning in 1943. During World War II, Falter joined the U.S. Navy and produced more than 300 recruitment and motivational posters. His artwork also appeared in major magazines including Esquire, Good Housekeeping, Cosmopolitan, McCall's, Life, and Look. After the war, he created more than 200 Western-themed paintings, illustrated over 40 books, and was commissioned by 3M in 1974 to paint six works for the American Bicentennial. He was inducted into the Illustrators Hall of Fame in 1976 and the National Academy of Western Art in 1978. Falter died in Philadelphia in 1982, and his papers are preserved by the Nebraska State Historical Society. His original paintings remain highly sought after, often selling for tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars at auction. While this poster is more accessible to collectors than one of his original paintings, it benefits from the strong market for his work. Created just before or around the time of his Navy enlistment, it represents an important example of his wartime commercial illustration.

Lot: 105 - Jules Chéret, Théâtre de la Tour Eiffel / Paris - Chicago. 1893.
Jules Chéret 1836-1932 Théâtre de la Tour Eiffel / Paris - Chicago. 1893. Condition A-: creases and abrasions in image. Framed. The Eiffel Tower was constructed as part of the 1889 Paris World's Fair. During the fair there was a restaurant called Flamand on the first level. The tower was meant to be torn down once the fair ended; fortuitously, that never occurred, and only the restaurant was closed. In its place, Charles Bodinière and the writer Alphonse Frank opened up a 400-seat theater. The theater ran from May to October every year, and eventually closed in 1900. On May 16th, 1893, the Théâtre de la Tour Eiffel made an attempt to bring some of Montmartre's spirit to the bourgeois Right Bank, with the opening of Paris / Chicago. The show, written by Frank and Gaston Arman de Caillavet was a tremendous success. Using a bold diagonal to create a descending movement, Chéret depicts his main characters in detail, and other characters in the background less so. The entire image is given a joyful, weightless feeling, as all of the characters (and even some of the typography) appear to be floating through the air. When it was printed, this poster was extremely popular with collectors, and it was offered to the market in three variations: with only the black outline, before the lettering, or like this, in its final iteration.

Jules Chéret 1836-1932 Alcazar d'Été / Lidia. 1895. Condition B+ / B: replaced losses at lower left edge; repaired tears in margins, one into lower right image; bleach spots in blue areas. Framed. In his memoirs, Paulus, one of the first big stars of the French café-concert scene, described Lily de Lidia as "snow and roses," a poetic compliment to her pale skin and pink complexion. He adds that she was the ideal performer to be hired "sans crainte de fatiguer les lorgnettes avides" (without worrying about tiring the peeping toms). In addition to her natural beauty, Lidia was alleged to have captivated crowds with her double-jointed act. However, early photo postcards depict her in various positions on a trapeze, indicating that her act was more athletic in nature. What is certain is that she inspired Chéret, who designed one of his most ravishing images for her. Brodio 174, Chéret 221, Maindron 154, DFP-II 250, Maitres 25, Wine Spectator 13, Gold 171.

Shortly thereafter, he became art director of the firm and began to design posters. Poster artists such as Dudovich, Mauzan and Metlicovitz worked under Hohenstein, and their posters reflect his influence as one of the masters of the Golden Age of Italian posters, "from obvious stylistic floral influences of French Art Nouveau and the German Jugendstil" (Manifesti Italiano, p. 114). This image, employing vivid colors and allegorical characters, is typical of his superb handling of even the most mundane items. The poster, promoting a brand of safety matches, is a brilliant graphic treatment playing with light and shadow effects, not to mention the larger moral themes of the forces of light banishing the forces of darkness. This is the larger format. Weill p. 85 (var), Manifesto p. 144. Manifesto Italiano 139, Menegazzi 340.

Lot: 126 - Lucien Métivet, Eugénie Buffet. 1893.
Lucien Métivet 1863-1932 Eugénie Buffet. 1893. Condition B+: repaired tears, creases and overpainting in margins and along vertical and horizontal folds; replaced losses in corners; linen trimmed to edges. While he studied painting in the Montmartre studio of Fernand Cormon (along with Toulouse-Lautrec), Lucien Métivet became a prolific illustrator, working for the best satirical magazines in Paris, like Le Rire and L'Assiette au Beurre. He was a member of the Montmartre circle of artists where he did a lot of work decorating cabarets. Here, he depicts the chanteuse Eugenie Buffet in the role she created for herself as an impoverished working-class girl. She is shown walking down a snowy Parisian street, with her hair and dress the only two dark spots in the image. Métivet cleverly puts her name on a poster on the hoarding he passes, and writes "every night" in the snow behind her steps. This is a classic, French café-concert image.

Lot: 127 - Georges Meunier, Papier à Cigarettes / Job. 1894.
Georges Meunier 1869-1942 Papier à Cigarettes / Job. 1894. Condition B+ / A-: water-staining at edges, some into lower images; repaired tears at edges; creases and abrasions at edges, in text, and along horizontal and vertical folds. Two-sheets. Linen trimmed to edges. Georges Meunier was a beaux Arts-trained painter and decorative artist, "of talent and charm" . . . and a student of Chéret. His philosophy of the poster was the same 'toujours les femmes et les rires'" (Abdy p. 63). He worked at Chéret's Chaix printers, and even succeeded him as principal artist and director. This is the larger format. Maitres pl. 167, DFP-II 579, Abdy p. 62, Wember 581 (var).
Lot: 128 - Leopoldo Metlicovitz, Exposition Internationale Turin. 1911.
Leopoldo Metlicovitz 1868-1944 Exposition Internationale Turin. 1911. Condition A-: minor repaired tears and restoration at edges and along vertical and horizontal folds. Metlicovitz was adept at portraying graceful elegance and beauty, as well as the allegorical strength of ancient Rome. Several of his posters depict statuesque men posing in bold, classical stances. His most famous allegories were for automobile exhibitions in Milan (in 1905 and 1907), the opening of the Simplon Tunnel (1906) and this dynamic poster. To promote official events and exhibitions, this style was very popular in pre-war Italy, and Metlicovitz used it in a commercial way to advertise companies like Mele and Liebig. For this International Exhibition in Turin, Metlicovitz depicts the muscular personification of Industry and Labor, with the city laid out beneath them, planting a flag to open the exhibition. This is the French version. Menegazzi 151, Ricordi 204.
Lot: 129 - Ernest Montaut, Cabanne - Nirouet. Circa 1905.

Alphonse Mucha 1860-1939 Le Fou / [Figaro Illustré]. Title page. 1897. Condition A / A-: expert overpainting in margins. This image was printed in Figaro Illustré's Christmas 1897 issue, depicting Le Fou, Légende Hongroise by Désiré Malongay. Le Figaro is one of the oldest French daily newspapers, founded in 1826, and Mucha contributed many illustrations. Mucha Grand Palais L.16 p. 221, Darmstadt I16 S221.
Lot: 131 - Alphonse Mucha, L'Estampe Moderne. 1898.
Alphonse Mucha 1860-1939 L'Estampe Moderne. 1898. Condition A / A-: minor foxing. To promote sales of L'Estampe Moderne, F. Champenois wanted a quick and inexpensive solution. He turned to Alphonse Mucha and the image the master had already designed for the cover of each month's portfolio. The image was easy to reproduce, as it used only one color; Champenois enlarged it and added text about the publication. The simplicity of the printing should by no means belittle the elegance of the elongated portrait of a woman holding a pen. The image is an example of Mucha's prowess as a draughtsman. Rennert / Weill 38 (var 1), Gold 88, Mucha / Henderson p. 123 (var), Mucha / Bridges R10a (var), Reade 10 (var), Spirit of Art Nouveau p. 25 (var).
Lot: 132 - Alphonse Mucha, Job. 1898.
Alphonse Mucha 1860-1939 Job. 1898. Condition A- / A: minor creases and staining in image. Framed. Mucha's second poster for Job, completed two years after the first, is one of his best advertising pieces. Here, Mucha provides the viewer with three levels of reading that constantly reinforce the brand. The woman sitting in a circle, her dark hair contrasting with her skin and pink dress, is eye-catching in and of herself, as is the big, bold lettering across the top. As viewers look more closely at the image, they discover that Mucha has also included the company name in the wallpaper behind the figure, that she is holding a package of the product, and finally, that her brooch also bears the Job logo. The image and design create a masterpiece of commercial art. Rennert / Weill 51, DFP-II 634, Modern Poster 9, Wine Spectator 74, Wember 610, Lendl 50, Weill 59, Maitres 1900 p. 18, Meisterplakate 164, Schardt p. 137, Triumph des Jugendstils p. 59, Art Nouveau p. 112.

Alphonse Mucha 1860-1939 [The Times of Day]. Set of four decorative panels. 1899. Condition B: slightly darkened overall; overpainted and partially-recreated margins; overpainting in decorative borders; some small replaced losses with restoration in image. An exquisite Art Nouveau quartet representing " Morning Awakening," " Daytime Dash," " Evening Reverie" and " Nightly Rest." "The borders are worked out in such an exquisite pattern that each picture appears to be mounted in an elaborate frame of its own, or else seen through a decorated window" (Rennert / Weill p. 232). In fact, on each panel the borders are identical, providing the set with an inherent cohesiveness. Mucha brilliantly adds an additional flourish by presenting different floral patterns behind each border. This is the larger format without bottom text.

Lot: 137 - Adolf Münzer, Deutsches Theater / Bal Paré. 1905.
Adolf Münzer 1870-1952 Deutsches Theater / Bal Paré. 1905. Condition B+: creases, abrasions, repaired tears and overpainting at edges; creases and overpainting in text, image and along horizontal and vertical folds. Two-sheets. After studying in Europe, and taking the prerequisite trip to Paris that all artists seemed to take, Münzer settled in Münich where he worked for Jugend magazine. His artistic credentials include membership in both Die Schülle and the Deutscher Werkbund. This poster advertising a weekly Ball, by far his best, was a huge success. The masked beauty personifying a wild and wonderful party with her strategically placed rose and half exposed nipples, certainly has a lot to do with it. As did its unusual format and size. At least one other variation, with slightly different text, is known. DFP-III 2309, Reklame Kunst 101, Theater 99, Masters p. 168, Plakate München 109.
Lot: 138 - Maxfield Parrish, The Century / Midsummer Holiday Number. 1897.
Maxfield Parrish 1870-1966 The Century / Midsummer Holiday Number. 1897. Condition A / A-: small tears and minor creases at edges; hinged to mat at top. Paper. Matted and framed. Most famous for his children's book illustrations, Parrish was nonetheless a "remarkable draughtsman, who energetically and successfully mixed fantasy and reality to create a luminous dream world that, for all its strangeness, is precisely rendered" (Parrish intro). He studied art at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and then at the Drexel Institute under Howard Pyle. His posters were more illustrative and detailed than those of Edward Penfield and Will Bradley, and marked by what Charles Hiatt referred to as "curious individuality." Parrish won second prize in The Century's 1896 poster contest with this entry. He might very well have won first (which went to J.C. Leyendecker), but "entries had been restricted to three colors, and Parrish, an avid experimenter with the new half-tone process, employed five" (Margolin p. 20).

Edward Penfield 1866-1925 Ride a Stearns and Be Content. 1896. Condition B- / C+: extensive overpainting, replaced losses, repaired tears, and creases in margins, text and image; restoration along vertical and horizontal folds. Framed. America's most prominent poster artist in the 1890s, Penfield is best known for the over 75 posters he designed for Harper's Magazine. In addition to those small posters, Penfield also designed three, larger, posters for different bicycle companies. "Mr. Penfield has always combined a certain Parisian chic with a London poise of aristocracy and refinement blended the two by some curious, psychological sleight of hand into an expression of the best that is America" (Price p. 150). Charles Hiatt captures the essence of Penfield's ladies in Picture Posters, where he explains, "his maidens are adorably conscious of their power to charm, and are fully alive to the fact that their gowns are of the smartest" (ibid., p. 288). Kiehl 190, Margolin p. 43, Goddu p. 36.
Lot: 144 - Edward Penfield, Harper's November. 1898.

Jules Georges Redon 1869-1943 Scala / La Tournée des Grands Ducs. 1906. Condition A-: creases and overpainting in margins and along horizontal and vertical folds; abrasions in image. Georges Redon began illustrating news and humor newspapers such as Le Petit Parisien Illustré, Le Rire, and Le Courrier Français in 1893, then opened his own lithography studio in 1897. In the years after the turn-of-the-century, Redon became one of the most prolific poster artists working for the Paris music halls, specializing in sexy, suggestive scenes, like this one. In 1907, he was among the 22 artists brought together by Félix Juven to form the first "Salon des Humoristes."
Lot: 147 - Louis Rhead, Prang's Easter Publications. 1895.

Condition C: extensive replaced and overpainted losses in upper left text, upper right image and lower right corner; repaired tears, creases and overpainting in image. Matted and framed. Louis Prang, an immigrant from Germany, ran a large, prominent printing house in Boston.

Lot: 149 - Theophile-Alexandre Steinlen, Chat Noir. 1896.
Theophile-Alexandre Steinlen 1859-1923 Chat Noir. 1896. Condition A. Framed The Chat Noir first opened its doors in 1881 on the Boulevard de Rochechouart, and moved to the Rue Victor Masse in 1895. In its new location, it was a focal point for much of the world for ten years. The cabaret's extravagant and media-savvy owner and manager was Rudolphe Salis, who wasn't exaggerating when he once declared, "I invented Montmartre!" He also invented the modern cabaret, which was imitated all over the world. Steinlen, who had designed the sign above the entrance to the cabaret and actively collaborated with the Chat Noir magazine also designed this iconic poster for the club in 1896. The huge black cat, eyes wide open, and situated on the page to allow for text, is a brilliant, simple yet powerful image done in only a few colors. Many different text variants exist. This is the small format. Bargiel cover (var) and 22B1, DFP-II 787 (var), Meisterplakate 202, Cate & Gill 79 (var).

Lot: 152 - Louis Trinquier-Trianon, Royat. Circa 1900.
Louis Trinquier-Trianon 1853-1922 Royat. Circa 1900. Condition A-: minor repaired tears at bottom edge; minor creases and abrasions in margins and image. Trinquier-Trianon is mostly remembered for his stylized Art Nouveau travel posters from the turn-of-the-century. For this spa town, located near Auvergne in the center of France, he illustrates an elegant lady being served a cup of curative water by a servant dressed in the regional attire. The landscape is depicted in a straightforward, descriptive way, and the entire image is captured within thick Art Nouveau curves and punctuated with extravagant typography. The elegance and white outlining of the drawing is reminiscent of the work of Privat-Livemont. Hillion p. 79, Train 75, Chemins de Fer 46.
Lot: 153 - Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Confetti. 1894.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec 1864-1901 Confetti. 1894. Condition A-: small tears at corners; minor crease at edges; tipped to mat at edges. Paper. Matted and framed. "One would hardly think that an artist of Toulouse-Lautrec's stature and wealth would normally apply his talents to advertise a product as routine as confetti" (Wine Spectator 53). The explanation is that the British brothers who owned this company were poster collectors themselves, and even "organized poster exhibitions at the Royal Aquarium, London, in 1894 and 1896, to which they invited Lautrec" (Adriani p. 144). Confetti, which was one of five of Lautrec's posters featured in the first exhibition, also appeared as the frontispiece in the catalogue. "The text, which is designed as part of the drawing, forms an integral element of the composition; it fits into the overall character of the design to create an effective advertisement without impinging on the drawing in any way. It is also one of Lautrec's most optimistic and joyful images, an indication of the breadth of his artistic ability" (Adriani p. 144).

Lot: 154 - Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, La Revue Blanche. 1895.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec 1864-1901 La Revue Blanche. 1895. Condition A-: expert unobtrusive overpainting in margins. Two-sheets. Misia Natanson, the wife of one of the founders of La Revue Blanche, a French art and literary magazine published between 1889 and 1903, was a muse for the artists and writers within this Belle Époque circle. Renowned as a charming and beautiful woman, she was a source of inspiration for Pierre Bonnard, Jacques Villon and Félix Vallotton, among other artists and writers. Both Bonnard and Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) were commissioned to design a poster promoting the magazine and they selected Misia, who represented the spirit of La Revue Blanche, as their subject. Lautrec's image is uncharacteristically soft and endearing when compared with much of his other work. It has been suggested that he had fallen in love with Misia, which might explain this scarce, tender portrait. The somewhat photographic perspective in which Lautrec depicted her, without showing her legs and uncentered, lends the image a modern appearance. This is the third state (of 3), with letters. Delteil 355, Adhémar 115, Adriani 130.
Lot: 155 - Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, L'Aube Revue Illustrée. 1896.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec 1864-1901 L'Aube Revue Illustrée. 1896. Condition A-: minor restoration at edges and along vertical and horizontal folds; repaired pin holes in corners; partially-erased pencil notation at top left. With mastery of light and tone, Lautrec illustrates this early morning scene with an atmospheric blue ink; only the beams of the streetlight and the illuminated horse are left as the paper color. Lautrec's depiction of the Parisian working class was printed for the new left-wing periodical L'Aube ( The Dawn). The publication only lasted for two years.

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec 1864-1901 Catalogue d'Affiches Artistiques [Débauché]. 1896. Condition A / A-: minor overpainting in margins. Lautrec's lithograph entitled Débauché was also used by the prominent Parisian print and poster dealer A. Arnaud as the cover for one of his catalogues (with text that did not appear on the first state of the lithograph). The print run was limited to only 100 copies. The ribald image was hardly what one would expect to see on the cover of catalogue, but is a classic Lautrec image, both for its subject matter and because a friend of his is depicted as the driving force of this lascivious scene. Wittrock 167 II, Adriani 187 III, Affichomanie 9.
Lot: 159 - Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Troupe De Mlle Églantine. 1896.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec 1864-1901 Troupe De Mlle Églantine. 1896. Condition A-: paper toned. Paper, hinged on verso. Matted and framed. Lautrec designed this poster in response to a request from his friend Jane Avril and her co-star Églantine. Writing on January 19, 1896, they asked him to design an image for their appearance at the Palace Theatre in London, charging him to design it "as you think best," leaving the art to him, but requested that the performers appear in a certain order, and that the theater name not be printed, so they could use the poster for another appearance. Lautrec designed the image based on a photograph he had of the four dancers, who appear in the finished lithograph in the requested order: Églantine, Jane Avril, Cléopatre and Gazelle. The women are depicted performing the Quadrille Naturaliste. The dance had become world famous after it was performed at the Moulin Rouge, and in England a British producer dubbed the dance the "French Can Can." Lautrec clearly appreciated these commissions he got from friends, and in return, infused the poster with his own personal inspiration. He bathes the dancers in the yellow glow of the stage lights, and uses the wooden planks of the stage to highlight the diagonal layout of the image. Their dark-stockinged legs emerging from the large white expanse of their petticoats was both alluring and risqué.

Robert Bonfils 1886-1972 Exposition Internationale Des Arts Décoratifs Et Industriels Modernes. 1925. Condition A. Robert Bonfils worked as an illustrator, bookbinder, painter and decorator and was one of the most active French artists during the Art Deco period. As such, he received the commission to design one of four official posters to advertise the 1925 Parisian exhibition, from which the term Art Deco was derived. His image, in the style of a woodcut, is a classical allegory of a young girl frolicking in the woods with a gazelle. Above them is a stylized rose that was one of the symbols of the exhibition. Each poster for the exhibition was printed in two different sizes. This is the smaller format, printed in red and black. The image was also used on the cover of the exhibition catalogue.

The National Parks Service, which now owns the land that used to house the baths, describes the scene as follows: "A classic Greek portal opened to a massive glass enclosure containing seven swimming pools of various temperatures. There were slides, trapezes, springboards and a high dive. Together the pools held 1.7 million gallons of water and could be filled in one hour by high tides. There were 20,000 bathing suits and 40,000 towels for rent. Balmy temperatures and abundant plants enhanced 'California's Tropical Winter Garden.' The Baths could accommodate 10,000 people at one time . . . An amphitheater, seating up to 3,700 people, provided a variety of stage shows. Three restaurants could accommodate 1,000 people at a sitting. There were natural-history exhibits, galleries of sculptures, paintings, tapestries and artifacts from Mexico, China, Asia, and the Middle East." The Bath's decline began in 1937 when part of the complex was turned into a skating rink. The building burned down in 1966 during demolition. This poster also exists with text which reads "On the Shore of the Pacific Ocean."

Gruau was the most acclaimed fashion illustrator of the post-war years, he created sparse compositions of languid, sophisticated models, delineated with bold lines and bright colors, ushering in a "new look" in the late 1940s. The world of haute couture embraced him: "with lines as lean as his elongated models, a gash of bright lips or a wash of color, René Gruau summed up an era. The elegant and aristocratic graphic artist . . . captured with his pen and brush the spirit of haute couture and the glory days of Parisian high fashion" (New York Times, April 13, 2004). He produced many works for Dior, Blizzand, and posters for the Lido and Moulin Rouge. For all of his fashion designs, he was first and foremost a poster designer. By his own words "fashion illustration has been an accident in my life, advertising and posters has been a choice." Very few of Gruau's posters feature detailed backgrounds. French version.

Condition B: partially-recreated bottom margin, including printing text; repaired tears, creases, abrasions and restoration in margins and image; colors slightly attenuated. Framed. Purvis' posters for the LNER run the gamut from traditional landscapes to people engaged in various activities. In the style of the Beggarstaff Brothers, "he formed his figures solely from masses of color, without outline" (Weill p. 228). His use of "flat primary colors and the elimination of detail" was his graphic calling-card for which he was most emulated (Railway p. 135), "indeed, no other artist in Britain was able to depict such vivid, life-like scenes with such an economy of means" (Purvis p. 66). "This poster aroused some controversy when it was first issued. The company received an angry letter from the secretary of a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, protesting that a picture of a child hanging on to a donkey's tail was an incentive to cruelty and consequently a harmful influence on the young. His demand that the poster be withdrawn was refused" (Railway p. 134). Posters & Publicity 1926, p. 14, Railway p.134, Furness Vol. 4, p. 22.

The Mazawattee Tea Company, founded in 1887 by the Densham family, became one of Britain's leading tea firms in the late 19th century. Renowned for its high-quality blended teas and extensive advertising, the company helped popularize branded packaged tea and established itself as one of the most recognizable names in the Victorian tea trade. The name "Mazawattee" may be based on the Urdu "maza", which means "pleasure or fun" originally from Persian, and the Sinhalese "wattee," which means "a garden."

Lot: 277 - Charles Loupot, Cointreau. 1930.
Charles Loupot 1892-1962 Cointreau. 1930. Condition A-: minor repaired tears and abrasions in margins; minor creases and abrasions in image. The success of Cointreau as a product can as much be attributed to their advertising as to the delectable nature of the product itself. Their first foray into popular advertising was in 1898, when Francisco Tamagno designed a poster for the company featuring "a white Pierrot wearing glasses licking a big bottle of Cointreau. Why the glasses? They had been added at the time of printing the poster by the printer Camis to make a joke about Mr. Edouard Cointreau whose myopia was legendary. This detail was so successful that it was preserved" (Reclame p. 46). The Pierrot appeared in other posters, most notably those of Jean Mercier, who visually updated the character for the 1920s and 30s. Loupot also "reworked and refined [the character] . . . He uses the color of the liquor, which he cleverly works with a set of gradients . . . to obtain this range of warm shades, and a texture evoking the skin of the fruit. It should be noted the clever use of the reserve to enhance the white face of Pierrot" (ibid). The partner image to this poster features a Pierrot standing, holding a smaller bottle of the liqueur. Loupot 86B, Loupot / Forney 39, Loupot Peintres p. 72.
Lot: 278 - Charles Loupot, St. Raphaël / Quinquina. 1952.
Charles Loupot 1892-1962 St. Raphaël / Quinquina. 1952. Condition A-: minor loss in bottom left corner; skinning in upper image. As Zagrodzki notes in his book, Loupot's work for St. Raphael "can be qualified as the work of his life." From 1937-1960, Loupot worked hand-in-hand with Max Augier, the advertising director of St. Raphael, creating a series of posters that tell of a unique saga in the story of advertising. Beginning with the poster that features the stylization of red and white clad waiters, Loupot gradually moved towards creating more and more abstracted images. Starting in 1945, Loupot began experimenting with his geometric stylizations of two waiters and his continuous transformation of typography. Of historic note, between 1945 and 1952, poster publicity for aperitifs was forbidden in France, so although this poster is dated 1947 (the year it was designed), it would not have been printed before 1952. This is the smaller format. Zagrodzki p. 93, Loupot 89, Encyclopedie de l'Affiche p. 172.
Lot: 279 - Charles Loupot (D'Aprés), St. Raphaël / Quinquina. Circa 1952.

Affectionately known as "The Green Devil," Cappiello struck a chord with this poster that has reverberated down through the decades. Mischievous, arcane and naughty, this green figure highlighted in purple is popping a cork from a brown bottle, and makes for an image that flirts with something sinister in a way that manages to be charming and compelling. One of the most memorable icons in Cappiello's visual legacy. Cappiello / Rennert 114, Encyclopedie de l'Affiche p. 61, Drink 85, Cappiello 266, Jenever p. 29.

Leonetto Cappiello 1875-1942 Les Délicieuses Confitures Foucault. 1919. Condition A-: expert overpainting in margins; minor restoration along vertical and horizontal folds; paper text insert at bottom. "Sometimes, Cappiello made his emphatic overstatements in terms of quantity rather than size. In design after design, he piled up flowers, fruits, packages of products or individual items in bountiful profusion to create a visually exciting presentation. A woman carrying a single item from a store doesn't make any impact, but one carrying ten or twenty packages makes a startling impression; that, at least, was what the artist firmly believed, and from the evidence he left us, we must conclude that he was instinctively right. Typical of this approach is the poster for Confitures Foucault: We see three women emptying huge baskets of fruit into a vat in which, presumably, the jams and marmalades will be prepared. Excessive, maybe; eye-catching, definitely" (Cappiello / Rennert, p. 194). Cappiello / Rennert 292.

Under the watchful glare of a roaring lion, Peugeot's trademark, Tamagno places the company's factories in Socheaux (they are still there today). From the factories emerge hundreds of workers all on bicycles, in a procession that is led by a car and a motorcycle. In the foreground is one of the company's beautiful automobiles and another motorcycle and bicycle. Affiches Automobiles p. 16.

Morach is best known for elongated, abstract landscapes. For this poster, he uses a totally different but equally original approach. He presents the viewer with two ordinary men, depicted in an almost cut-out, collage-like fashion. They are dressed alike (albeit in different colors) and they are reading newspapers that show a PKZ ad on the back. Adding to the unusual, hypnotic effect of the image, is the fact that the men are both placed at a slight angle, ensuring that when three or more of these posters were posted side by side, the visual effect would have been very strong. This is the rare Italian version. Weill 452, Crouse 122, Encyclopedie p. 133, Art Deco p. 84, Made in Switzerland p. 108, Swiss poster 331 (all Var.).

Lot: 334 - Paul Colin, Tabarin. 1928.
Paul Colin 1892-1985 Tabarin. 1928. Condition A-: slight darkening and minor creases at edges. Paper. The Bal Tabarin, a popular night club in Montmartre, was opened in 1904 by Auguste Bosc, a composer of some renown in Paris during the "gay nineties." The club made its reputation with the Belle Époque favorite, the cancan, continuing to perform it long after the First World War, when the craze had all but died elsewhere. In the mid-20s two retired dancers infused the club with new life by introducing the Charleston. The passage of time and the changing trends are all illustrated in a spectacular manner here, with three different women dancing three separate dances all melded into one image. One element is clear among all the different characters in this poster - each is exposing enough skin to tantalize the viewer to attend an event there. This is one of the most sophisticated compositions Colin designed, infused with incredible movements of the various arms and legs, and containing different layers, combining three images into one. Using only three colors, Colin pays a flamboyant tribute to the art of dancing and has created a classic image reflecting the energy of Paris during the Jazz Age. This is the smaller format.

School gymnastics lessons were made compulsory for boys, as a mode of fitness preparation for the military.

An extraordinary World War I-era Canadian poster showing a member of the Onion Lake Kree Nation making a donation to the Canadian Patriotic Fund, a private fund geared to providing money for soldiers' families.

"Whilst studying engineering at Kings College, London, Cyril Kenneth Bird also attended evening classes in art in order to follow his preferred profession as an artist. He joined the Royal Engineers in 1914 but was badly wounded at Gallipoli in 1916. During his recuperation he started producing cartoons; these were published in Punch and other magazines and established his future career. He adopted the name 'Fougasse' from a small land mine used by the Royal Engineers which might or might not hit the mark. From 1937 to 1948, he was Art Editor for Punch. During the Second World War, Bird devoted himself to producing propaganda of all kinds for nearly all government ministries as well as many charities. All of his work was given free. The poster design demonstrates the need to attract public attention in the face of an onslaught of posters. The humor is quick and the wide margin and red border give the image space to be noticed. Bird's work, especially the 'Careless Talk' posters, was widely appreciated both during and after the war" ( Imperial War Museum). Images available upon request.

Lot: 63 - Alexey Brodovitch, Libertad De Palabra. 1942.
Alexey Brodovitch 1898-1971 Libertad De Palabra. 1942. Condition A-: minor creases and abrasions at edges; linen trimmed to edges. Originally a Russian émigré to Paris, when Brodovitch moved to the United States, he became a major influence on American graphic design. From his position as Art Director of Harper's magazine and later as a teacher at his own design laboratory, he brought the European avant-garde to America. From 1936 onwards, Brodovitch's work began to show a strong Surrealistic influence, which is evident in this powerful and poignant image. In 1942, the Office of Inter-American Affairs, headed by Nelson A. Rockefeller, commissioned some of the most preeminent modern American designers of the day to create posters for distribution in Latin America. The other artists were E. McKnight Kauffer, John Atherton and Herbert Bayer. Atypically progressive artistically, these posters, which appeared early on in America's involvement in the war, were intended to sway Latin American opinion against the Axis powers and to increase the solidarity of the Western hemisphere. Each of the posters in this series highlighted one or more of Theodore Roosevelt's Four Freedoms as stated to the U.S. Congress in January, 1941: Freedom from Fear, Freedom From Want, Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion.

John Falter was one of the leading American illustrators of the 20th century. Born in Plattsmouth, Nebraska, he studied art in Kansas City and New York. He is best known for creating 129 cover paintings for The Saturday Evening Post over a 25-year period beginning in 1943. During World War II, Falter joined the U.S. Navy and produced more than 300 recruitment and motivational posters. His artwork also appeared in major magazines including Esquire, Good Housekeeping, Cosmopolitan, McCall's, Life, and Look. After the war, he created more than 200 Western-themed paintings, illustrated over 40 books, and was commissioned by 3M in 1974 to paint six works for the American Bicentennial. He was inducted into the Illustrators Hall of Fame in 1976 and the National Academy of Western Art in 1978. Falter died in Philadelphia in 1982, and his papers are preserved by the Nebraska State Historical Society. His original paintings remain highly sought after, often selling for tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars at auction. While this poster is more accessible to collectors than one of his original paintings, it benefits from the strong market for his work. Created just before or around the time of his Navy enlistment, it represents an important example of his wartime commercial illustration.

His first, France Champagne in 1891, was a revolutionary image, displaying the influence of the Ukiyo-e Japanese prints and opening up horizons for the new generation of poster artists. "The central element of this highly modern composition, in which the large area of blank paper creates a vacuum, is the woman who is depicted only in outline - with details provided only at the top of her dress and the rendering of her head . . . The monogram, in the form of a butterfly, pays tribute to Japanese art and balances the composition" (Salon des Cent p. 35). Her attention (and that of the viewer) is drawn to the charming little dog. Wember 137, DFP-II 79, Salon des Cent 5, Bouvet 39, Art Nouveau p. 85, Abdy p. 82.

Lot: 105 - Jules Chéret, Théâtre de la Tour Eiffel / Paris - Chicago. 1893.
Jules Chéret 1836-1932 Théâtre de la Tour Eiffel / Paris - Chicago. 1893. Condition A-: creases and abrasions in image. Framed. The Eiffel Tower was constructed as part of the 1889 Paris World's Fair. During the fair there was a restaurant called Flamand on the first level. The tower was meant to be torn down once the fair ended; fortuitously, that never occurred, and only the restaurant was closed. In its place, Charles Bodinière and the writer Alphonse Frank opened up a 400-seat theater. The theater ran from May to October every year, and eventually closed in 1900. On May 16th, 1893, the Théâtre de la Tour Eiffel made an attempt to bring some of Montmartre's spirit to the bourgeois Right Bank, with the opening of Paris / Chicago. The show, written by Frank and Gaston Arman de Caillavet was a tremendous success. Using a bold diagonal to create a descending movement, Chéret depicts his main characters in detail, and other characters in the background less so. The entire image is given a joyful, weightless feeling, as all of the characters (and even some of the typography) appear to be floating through the air. When it was printed, this poster was extremely popular with collectors, and it was offered to the market in three variations: with only the black outline, before the lettering, or like this, in its final iteration. Cheret 343, Broido 273, Maindron 239, DFP-III 2379 (var), Reims 467.

Lot: 108 - Jules Chéret, Alcazar d'Été / Lidia. 1895.
Jules Chéret 1836-1932 Alcazar d'Été / Lidia. 1895. Condition B+ / B: replaced losses at lower left edge; repaired tears in margins, one into lower right image; bleach spots in blue areas. Framed. In his memoirs, Paulus, one of the first big stars of the French café-concert scene, described Lily de Lidia as "snow and roses," a poetic compliment to her pale skin and pink complexion. He adds that she was the ideal performer to be hired "sans crainte de fatiguer les lorgnettes avides" (without worrying about tiring the peeping toms). In addition to her natural beauty, Lidia was alleged to have captivated crowds with her double-jointed act. However, early photo postcards depict her in various positions on a trapeze, indicating that her act was more athletic in nature. What is certain is that she inspired Chéret, who designed one of his most ravishing images for her. Brodio 174, Chéret 221, Maindron 154, DFP-II 250, Maitres 25, Wine Spectator 13, Gold 171.

Georges de Feure 1868-1943 Paris Almanach. 1894. Condition B+: overpainted and replaced margins; unobtrusive horizontal fold. The Almanach was a guide to Paris published by Ed. Sagot. Here, de Feure's impeccably-dressed young lady is using the guide to explore the city - finding herself at an art exhibition. She is alone in a crowd of men who are depicted darkly and monochromatically in the background. One of them appears to be staring at her, but she stands almost defiantly in the foreground.

This classic Grün poster presents "a cheerful and exposed young lady" (Grün p. 63) in the suggestive, softly erotic style that was the artist's trademark. This show was led by music hall performer Suzanne Derval and opera singer Amélie Dieterle. The Scala was one of Paris's major music halls, and Grün designed most of the posters for the establishment between 1901 and 1905. This is the larger format.

Adolfo Hohenstein 1854-1928 Centenaire de la Decouverte. 1899. Condition A-: creases in image; creases and overpainting along horizontal and vertical folds. Hohenstein employs his classic allegorical style within an archetypal Liberty-style decorative border to honor the 100th anniversary of Alessandro Volta's creation of the first electric cell (battery), and to promote an International Congress of Electricity held in Como, Volta's birthplace. This is the smaller format, French version. Manifesti Italiani p. 37 (var), Ricordi 157, Capolavori Manifesto Liberty 3, Wember 404 (var).
Lot: 122 - Adolfo Hohenstein, Fiammiferi Senza Fosforo. 1905.
Adolfo Hohenstein 1854-1928 Fiammiferi Senza Fosforo. 1905. Condition A-: expertly-replaced losses and overpainting in margins; minor restoration in image. Born in Russia to German parents, Hohenstein studied art in Vienna before settling in Milan. He began working with Ricordi, the great Italian publishing company in 1889, designing sheet music covers for operas. Shortly thereafter, he became art director of the firm and began to design posters. Poster artists such as Dudovich, Mauzan and Metlicovitz worked under Hohenstein, and their posters reflect his influence as one of the masters of the Golden Age of Italian posters, "from obvious stylistic floral influences of French Art Nouveau and the German Jugendstil" (Manifesti Italiano, p. 114). This image, employing vivid colors and allegorical characters, is typical of his superb handling of even the most mundane items. The poster, promoting a brand of safety matches, is a brilliant graphic treatment playing with light and shadow effects, not to mention the larger moral themes of the forces of light banishing the forces of darkness. This is the larger format. Weill p. 85 (var), Manifesto p. 144. Manifesto Italiano 139, Menegazzi 340.
Lot: 123 - Ludwig Hohlwein, Marco - Polo - Tee. 1910.

Lot: 126 - Lucien Métivet, Eugénie Buffet. 1893.
Lucien Métivet 1863-1932 Eugénie Buffet. 1893. Condition B+: repaired tears, creases and overpainting in margins and along vertical and horizontal folds; replaced losses in corners; linen trimmed to edges. While he studied painting in the Montmartre studio of Fernand Cormon (along with Toulouse-Lautrec), Lucien Métivet became a prolific illustrator, working for the best satirical magazines in Paris, like Le Rire and L'Assiette au Beurre. He was a member of the Montmartre circle of artists where he did a lot of work decorating cabarets. Here, he depicts the chanteuse Eugenie Buffet in the role she created for herself as an impoverished working-class girl. She is shown walking down a snowy Parisian street, with her hair and dress the only two dark spots in the image. Métivet cleverly puts her name on a poster on the hoarding he passes, and writes "every night" in the snow behind her steps. This is a classic, French café-concert image. Maitres 22, DFP-II 574, Reims 844, Gold 170.
Lot: 127 - Georges Meunier, Papier à Cigarettes / Job. 1894.

Condition B+ / A-: water-staining at edges, some into lower images; repaired tears at edges; creases and abrasions at edges, in text, and along horizontal and vertical folds. Two-sheets. Linen trimmed to edges. Georges Meunier was a beaux Arts-trained painter and decorative artist, "of talent and charm" . . . and a student of Chéret. His philosophy of the poster was the same 'toujours les femmes et les rires'" (Abdy p. 63). He worked at Chéret's Chaix printers, and even succeeded him as principal artist and director. This is the larger format. Maitres pl. 167, DFP-II 579, Abdy p. 62, Wember 581 (var).
Lot: 128 - Leopoldo Metlicovitz, Exposition Internationale Turin. 1911.
Leopoldo Metlicovitz 1868-1944 Exposition Internationale Turin. 1911. Condition A-: minor repaired tears and restoration at edges and along vertical and horizontal folds. Metlicovitz was adept at portraying graceful elegance and beauty, as well as the allegorical strength of ancient Rome. Several of his posters depict statuesque men posing in bold, classical stances. His most famous allegories were for automobile exhibitions in Milan (in 1905 and 1907), the opening of the Simplon Tunnel (1906) and this dynamic poster. To promote official events and exhibitions, this style was very popular in pre-war Italy, and Metlicovitz used it in a commercial way to advertise companies like Mele and Liebig. For this International Exhibition in Turin, Metlicovitz depicts the muscular personification of Industry and Labor, with the city laid out beneath them, planting a flag to open the exhibition. This is the French version. Menegazzi 151, Ricordi 204.
Lot: 129 - Ernest Montaut, Cabanne - Nirouet. Circa 1905.

Le Figaro is one of the oldest French daily newspapers, founded in 1826, and Mucha contributed many illustrations. Mucha Grand Palais L.16 p. 221, Darmstadt I16 S221.
Lot: 131 - Alphonse Mucha, L'Estampe Moderne. 1898.
Alphonse Mucha 1860-1939 L'Estampe Moderne. 1898. Condition A / A-: minor foxing. To promote sales of L'Estampe Moderne, F. Champenois wanted a quick and inexpensive solution. He turned to Alphonse Mucha and the image the master had already designed for the cover of each month's portfolio. The image was easy to reproduce, as it used only one color; Champenois enlarged it and added text about the publication. The simplicity of the printing should by no means belittle the elegance of the elongated portrait of a woman holding a pen. The image is an example of Mucha's prowess as a draughtsman. Rennert / Weill 38 (var 1), Gold 88, Mucha / Henderson p. 123 (var), Mucha / Bridges R10a (var), Reade 10 (var), Spirit of Art Nouveau p. 25 (var).
Lot: 132 - Alphonse Mucha, Job. 1898.
Alphonse Mucha 1860-1939 Job. 1898. Condition A- / A: minor creases and staining in image. Framed. Mucha's second poster for Job, completed two years after the first, is one of his best advertising pieces. Here, Mucha provides the viewer with three levels of reading that constantly reinforce the brand. The woman sitting in a circle, her dark hair contrasting with her skin and pink dress, is eye-catching in and of herself, as is the big, bold lettering across the top. As viewers look more closely at the image, they discover that Mucha has also included the company name in the wallpaper behind the figure, that she is holding a package of the product, and finally, that her brooch also bears the Job logo. The image and design create a masterpiece of commercial art. Rennert / Weill 51, DFP-II 634, Modern Poster 9, Wine Spectator 74, Wember 610, Lendl 50, Weill 59, Maitres 1900 p. 18, Meisterplakate 164, Schardt p. 137, Triumph des Jugendstils p. 59, Art Nouveau p. 112.

Alphonse Mucha 1860-1939 [The Times of Day]. Set of four decorative panels. 1899. Condition B: slightly darkened overall; overpainted and partially-recreated margins; overpainting in decorative borders; some small replaced losses with restoration in image. An exquisite Art Nouveau quartet representing " Morning Awakening," " Daytime Dash," " Evening Reverie" and " Nightly Rest." "The borders are worked out in such an exquisite pattern that each picture appears to be mounted in an elaborate frame of its own, or else seen through a decorated window" (Rennert / Weill p. 232). In fact, on each panel the borders are identical, providing the set with an inherent cohesiveness. Mucha brilliantly adds an additional flourish by presenting different floral patterns behind each border. This is the larger format without bottom text.

Lot: 137 - Adolf Münzer, Deutsches Theater / Bal Paré. 1905.
Adolf Münzer 1870-1952 Deutsches Theater / Bal Paré. 1905. Condition B+: creases, abrasions, repaired tears and overpainting at edges; creases and overpainting in text, image and along horizontal and vertical folds. Two-sheets. After studying in Europe, and taking the prerequisite trip to Paris that all artists seemed to take, Münzer settled in Münich where he worked for Jugend magazine. His artistic credentials include membership in both Die Schülle and the Deutscher Werkbund. This poster advertising a weekly Ball, by far his best, was a huge success. The masked beauty personifying a wild and wonderful party with her strategically placed rose and half exposed nipples, certainly has a lot to do with it. As did its unusual format and size. At least one other variation, with slightly different text, is known. DFP-III 2309, Reklame Kunst 101, Theater 99, Masters p. 168, Plakate München 109.
Lot: 138 - Maxfield Parrish, The Century / Midsummer Holiday Number. 1897.
Maxfield Parrish 1870-1966 The Century / Midsummer Holiday Number. 1897. Condition A / A-: small tears and minor creases at edges; hinged to mat at top. Paper. Matted and framed. Most famous for his children's book illustrations, Parrish was nonetheless a "remarkable draughtsman, who energetically and successfully mixed fantasy and reality to create a luminous dream world that, for all its strangeness, is precisely rendered" (Parrish intro). He studied art at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and then at the Drexel Institute under Howard Pyle. His posters were more illustrative and detailed than those of Edward Penfield and Will Bradley, and marked by what Charles Hiatt referred to as "curious individuality." Parrish won second prize in The Century's 1896 poster contest with this entry. He might very well have won first (which went to J.C. Leyendecker), but "entries had been restricted to three colors, and Parrish, an avid experimenter with the new half-tone process, employed five" (Margolin p. 20).

"Mr. Penfield has always combined a certain Parisian chic with a London poise of aristocracy and refinement blended the two by some curious, psychological sleight of hand into an expression of the best that is America" (Price p. 150). Charles Hiatt captures the essence of Penfield's ladies in Picture Posters, where he explains, "his maidens are adorably conscious of their power to charm, and are fully alive to the fact that their gowns are of the smartest" (ibid., p. 288). Kiehl 190, Margolin p. 43, Goddu p. 36.

Lot: 149 - Theophile-Alexandre Steinlen, Chat Noir. 1896.
Theophile-Alexandre Steinlen 1859-1923 Chat Noir. 1896. Condition A. Framed The Chat Noir first opened its doors in 1881 on the Boulevard de Rochechouart, and moved to the Rue Victor Masse in 1895. In its new location, it was a focal point for much of the world for ten years. The cabaret's extravagant and media-savvy owner and manager was Rudolphe Salis, who wasn't exaggerating when he once declared, "I invented Montmartre!" He also invented the modern cabaret, which was imitated all over the world. Steinlen, who had designed the sign above the entrance to the cabaret and actively collaborated with the Chat Noir magazine also designed this iconic poster for the club in 1896. The huge black cat, eyes wide open, and situated on the page to allow for text, is a brilliant, simple yet powerful image done in only a few colors. Many different text variants exist. This is the small format. Bargiel cover (var) and 22B1, DFP-II 787 (var), Meisterplakate 202, Cate & Gill 79 (var).

Lot: 152 - Louis Trinquier-Trianon, Royat. Circa 1900.
Louis Trinquier-Trianon 1853-1922 Royat. Circa 1900. Condition A-: minor repaired tears at bottom edge; minor creases and abrasions in margins and image. Trinquier-Trianon is mostly remembered for his stylized Art Nouveau travel posters from the turn-of-the-century. For this spa town, located near Auvergne in the center of France, he illustrates an elegant lady being served a cup of curative water by a servant dressed in the regional attire. The landscape is depicted in a straightforward, descriptive way, and the entire image is captured within thick Art Nouveau curves and punctuated with extravagant typography. The elegance and white outlining of the drawing is reminiscent of the work of Privat-Livemont. Hillion p. 79, Train 75, Chemins de Fer 46.
Lot: 153 - Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Confetti. 1894.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec 1864-1901 Confetti. 1894. Condition A-: small tears at corners; minor crease at edges; tipped to mat at edges. Paper. Matted and framed. "One would hardly think that an artist of Toulouse-Lautrec's stature and wealth would normally apply his talents to advertise a product as routine as confetti" (Wine Spectator 53). The explanation is that the British brothers who owned this company were poster collectors themselves, and even "organized poster exhibitions at the Royal Aquarium, London, in 1894 and 1896, to which they invited Lautrec" (Adriani p. 144). Confetti, which was one of five of Lautrec's posters featured in the first exhibition, also appeared as the frontispiece in the catalogue. "The text, which is designed as part of the drawing, forms an integral element of the composition; it fits into the overall character of the design to create an effective advertisement without impinging on the drawing in any way. It is also one of Lautrec's most optimistic and joyful images, an indication of the breadth of his artistic ability" (Adriani p. 144).

Lot: 154 - Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, La Revue Blanche. 1895.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec 1864-1901 La Revue Blanche. 1895. Condition A-: expert unobtrusive overpainting in margins. Two-sheets. Misia Natanson, the wife of one of the founders of La Revue Blanche, a French art and literary magazine published between 1889 and 1903, was a muse for the artists and writers within this Belle Époque circle. Renowned as a charming and beautiful woman, she was a source of inspiration for Pierre Bonnard, Jacques Villon and Félix Vallotton, among other artists and writers. Both Bonnard and Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) were commissioned to design a poster promoting the magazine and they selected Misia, who represented the spirit of La Revue Blanche, as their subject. Lautrec's image is uncharacteristically soft and endearing when compared with much of his other work. It has been suggested that he had fallen in love with Misia, which might explain this scarce, tender portrait. The somewhat photographic perspective in which Lautrec depicted her, without showing her legs and uncentered, lends the image a modern appearance. This is the third state (of 3), with letters. Delteil 355, Adhémar 115, Adriani 130.
Lot: 155 - Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, L'Aube Revue Illustrée. 1896.

Condition A-: minor restoration at edges and along vertical and horizontal folds; repaired pin holes in corners; partially-erased pencil notation at top left. With mastery of light and tone, Lautrec illustrates this early morning scene with an atmospheric blue ink; only the beams of the streetlight and the illuminated horse are left as the paper color. Lautrec's depiction of the Parisian working class was printed for the new left-wing periodical L'Aube ( The Dawn). The publication only lasted for two years.

Lot: 158 - Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Catalogue d'Affiches Artistiques [Débauché]. 1896.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec 1864-1901 Catalogue d'Affiches Artistiques [Débauché]. 1896. Condition A / A-: minor overpainting in margins. Lautrec's lithograph entitled Débauché was also used by the prominent Parisian print and poster dealer A. Arnaud as the cover for one of his catalogues (with text that did not appear on the first state of the lithograph). The print run was limited to only 100 copies. The ribald image was hardly what one would expect to see on the cover of catalogue, but is a classic Lautrec image, both for its subject matter and because a friend of his is depicted as the driving force of this lascivious scene. Wittrock 167 II, Adriani 187 III, Affichomanie 9.
Lot: 159 - Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Troupe De Mlle Églantine. 1896.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec 1864-1901 Troupe De Mlle Églantine. 1896. Condition A-: paper toned. Paper, hinged on verso. Matted and framed. Lautrec designed this poster in response to a request from his friend Jane Avril and her co-star Églantine. Writing on January 19, 1896, they asked him to design an image for their appearance at the Palace Theatre in London, charging him to design it "as you think best," leaving the art to him, but requested that the performers appear in a certain order, and that the theater name not be printed, so they could use the poster for another appearance. Lautrec designed the image based on a photograph he had of the four dancers, who appear in the finished lithograph in the requested order: Églantine, Jane Avril, Cléopatre and Gazelle. The women are depicted performing the Quadrille Naturaliste. The dance had become world famous after it was performed at the Moulin Rouge, and in England a British producer dubbed the dance the "French Can Can." Lautrec clearly appreciated these commissions he got from friends, and in return, infused the poster with his own personal inspiration. He bathes the dancers in the yellow glow of the stage lights, and uses the wooden planks of the stage to highlight the diagonal layout of the image. Their dark-stockinged legs emerging from the large white expanse of their petticoats was both alluring and risqué.

Robert Bonfils worked as an illustrator, bookbinder, painter and decorator and was one of the most active French artists during the Art Deco period. As such, he received the commission to design one of four official posters to advertise the 1925 Parisian exhibition, from which the term Art Deco was derived. His image, in the style of a woodcut, is a classical allegory of a young girl frolicking in the woods with a gazelle. Above them is a stylized rose that was one of the symbols of the exhibition. Each poster for the exhibition was printed in two different sizes. This is the smaller format, printed in red and black. The image was also used on the cover of the exhibition catalogue.

The National Parks Service, which now owns the land that used to house the baths, describes the scene as follows: "A classic Greek portal opened to a massive glass enclosure containing seven swimming pools of various temperatures. There were slides, trapezes, springboards and a high dive. Together the pools held 1.7 million gallons of water and could be filled in one hour by high tides. There were 20,000 bathing suits and 40,000 towels for rent. Balmy temperatures and abundant plants enhanced 'California's Tropical Winter Garden.' The Baths could accommodate 10,000 people at one time . . . An amphitheater, seating up to 3,700 people, provided a variety of stage shows. Three restaurants could accommodate 1,000 people at a sitting. There were natural-history exhibits, galleries of sculptures, paintings, tapestries and artifacts from Mexico, China, Asia, and the Middle East." The Bath's decline began in 1937 when part of the complex was turned into a skating rink. The building burned down in 1966 during demolition. This poster also exists with text which reads "On the Shore of the Pacific Ocean."

His use of "flat primary colors and the elimination of detail" was his graphic calling-card for which he was most emulated (Railway p. 135), "indeed, no other artist in Britain was able to depict such vivid, life-like scenes with such an economy of means" (Purvis p. 66). "This poster aroused some controversy when it was first issued. The company received an angry letter from the secretary of a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, protesting that a picture of a child hanging on to a donkey's tail was an incentive to cruelty and consequently a harmful influence on the young. His demand that the poster be withdrawn was refused" (Railway p. 134). Posters & Publicity 1926, p. 14, Railway p.134, Furness Vol. 4, p. 22.

The Mazawattee Tea Company, founded in 1887 by the Densham family, became one of Britain's leading tea firms in the late 19th century. Renowned for its high-quality blended teas and extensive advertising, the company helped popularize branded packaged tea and established itself as one of the most recognizable names in the Victorian tea trade. The name "Mazawattee" may be based on the Urdu "maza", which means "pleasure or fun" originally from Persian, and the Sinhalese "wattee," which means "a garden."

Lot: 277 - Charles Loupot, Cointreau. 1930.
Charles Loupot 1892-1962 Cointreau. 1930. Condition A-: minor repaired tears and abrasions in margins; minor creases and abrasions in image. The success of Cointreau as a product can as much be attributed to their advertising as to the delectable nature of the product itself. Their first foray into popular advertising was in 1898, when Francisco Tamagno designed a poster for the company featuring "a white Pierrot wearing glasses licking a big bottle of Cointreau. Why the glasses? They had been added at the time of printing the poster by the printer Camis to make a joke about Mr. Edouard Cointreau whose myopia was legendary. This detail was so successful that it was preserved" (Reclame p. 46). The Pierrot appeared in other posters, most notably those of Jean Mercier, who visually updated the character for the 1920s and 30s. Loupot also "reworked and refined [the character] . . . He uses the color of the liquor, which he cleverly works with a set of gradients . . . to obtain this range of warm shades, and a texture evoking the skin of the fruit. It should be noted the clever use of the reserve to enhance the white face of Pierrot" (ibid). The partner image to this poster features a Pierrot standing, holding a smaller bottle of the liqueur. Loupot 86B, Loupot / Forney 39, Loupot Peintres p. 72.
Lot: 278 - Charles Loupot, St. Raphaël / Quinquina. 1952.
Charles Loupot 1892-1962 St. Raphaël / Quinquina. 1952. Condition A-: minor loss in bottom left corner; skinning in upper image. As Zagrodzki notes in his book, Loupot's work for St. Raphael "can be qualified as the work of his life." From 1937-1960, Loupot worked hand-in-hand with Max Augier, the advertising director of St. Raphael, creating a series of posters that tell of a unique saga in the story of advertising. Beginning with the poster that features the stylization of red and white clad waiters, Loupot gradually moved towards creating more and more abstracted images. Starting in 1945, Loupot began experimenting with his geometric stylizations of two waiters and his continuous transformation of typography. Of historic note, between 1945 and 1952, poster publicity for aperitifs was forbidden in France, so although this poster is dated 1947 (the year it was designed), it would not have been printed before 1952. This is the smaller format. Zagrodzki p. 93, Loupot 89, Encyclopedie de l'Affiche p. 172.
Lot: 279 - Charles Loupot (D'Aprés), St. Raphaël / Quinquina. Circa 1952.

Leonetto Cappiello 1875-1942 Maurin Quina. 1906. Condition A- / B+: repaired tears, creases and overpainting in image; punch hole in right margin. Linen trimmed to poster. Affectionately known as "The Green Devil," Cappiello struck a chord with this poster that has reverberated down through the decades. Mischievous, arcane and naughty, this green figure highlighted in purple is popping a cork from a brown bottle, and makes for an image that flirts with something sinister in a way that manages to be charming and compelling. One of the most memorable icons in Cappiello's visual legacy. Cappiello / Rennert 114, Encyclopedie de l'Affiche p. 61, Drink 85, Cappiello 266, Jenever p. 29.

Lot: 295 - Leonetto Cappiello, Les Délicieuses Confitures Foucault. 1919.
Leonetto Cappiello 1875-1942 Les Délicieuses Confitures Foucault. 1919. Condition A-: expert overpainting in margins; minor restoration along vertical and horizontal folds; paper text insert at bottom. "Sometimes, Cappiello made his emphatic overstatements in terms of quantity rather than size. In design after design, he piled up flowers, fruits, packages of products or individual items in bountiful profusion to create a visually exciting presentation. A woman carrying a single item from a store doesn't make any impact, but one carrying ten or twenty packages makes a startling impression; that, at least, was what the artist firmly believed, and from the evidence he left us, we must conclude that he was instinctively right. Typical of this approach is the poster for Confitures Foucault: We see three women emptying huge baskets of fruit into a vat in which, presumably, the jams and marmalades will be prepared. Excessive, maybe; eye-catching, definitely" (Cappiello / Rennert, p. 194). Cappiello / Rennert 292.

In the early 1890s, three companies were responsible for elevating bicycle manufacturing into an industry; Clement, Darracq and Peugeot. With giant factories set up and an eye on transportation technology, these businesses also eventually ventured into the automobile industry. This poster sums up Peugeot's industrial saga. Under the watchful glare of a roaring lion, Peugeot's trademark, Tamagno places the company's factories in Socheaux (they are still there today). From the factories emerge hundreds of workers all on bicycles, in a procession that is led by a car and a motorcycle. In the foreground is one of the company's beautiful automobiles and another motorcycle and bicycle. Affiches Automobiles p. 16.

Morach is best known for elongated, abstract landscapes. For this poster, he uses a totally different but equally original approach. He presents the viewer with two ordinary men, depicted in an almost cut-out, collage-like fashion. They are dressed alike (albeit in different colors) and they are reading newspapers that show a PKZ ad on the back. Adding to the unusual, hypnotic effect of the image, is the fact that the men are both placed at a slight angle, ensuring that when three or more of these posters were posted side by side, the visual effect would have been very strong. This is the rare Italian version. Weill 452, Crouse 122, Encyclopedie p. 133, Art Deco p. 84, Made in Switzerland p. 108, Swiss poster 331 (all Var.).

He was known to try to pass himself off as Buffalo Bill, and while never achieving the same level of stardom, he did go on to become a pioneering aviator instead. In 1908, S.F. Cody became the first man to achieve powered flight in Great Britain.

Lot: 334 - Paul Colin, Tabarin. 1928.
Paul Colin 1892-1985 Tabarin. 1928. Condition A-: slight darkening and minor creases at edges. Paper. The Bal Tabarin, a popular night club in Montmartre, was opened in 1904 by Auguste Bosc, a composer of some renown in Paris during the "gay nineties." The club made its reputation with the Belle Époque favorite, the cancan, continuing to perform it long after the First World War, when the craze had all but died elsewhere. In the mid-20s two retired dancers infused the club with new life by introducing the Charleston. The passage of time and the changing trends are all illustrated in a spectacular manner here, with three different women dancing three separate dances all melded into one image. One element is clear among all the different characters in this poster - each is exposing enough skin to tantalize the viewer to attend an event there. This is one of the most sophisticated compositions Colin designed, infused with incredible movements of the various arms and legs, and containing different layers, combining three images into one. Using only three colors, Colin pays a flamboyant tribute to the art of dancing and has created a classic image reflecting the energy of Paris during the Jazz Age. This is the smaller format.

This poster was his design for the 56th Federal Gymnastics Festival in Basel - an event dating back to 1832, and one of Switzerland's oldest sporting traditions. "The early Swiss gymnastics movement was closely associated with the formation of the federal state of 1848; gymnasts publicly embodied the unity of Switzerland in a democratic-liberal sense" ( National Museum). School gymnastics lessons were made compulsory for boys, as a mode of fitness preparation for the military. As seen in Renggli's depiction of collective and synchronized exercises, the white dress code was mandatory until 1972. Artist Karl Ballmer also designed the official postcard for this event in 1912.
