John Onwy
Original Levurine French vintage poster, full lithograph

1920

About the Item

Original French poster Levurine. Artist John Onwy. Archival linen backed in very good condition with very minor touch up. Rare kitchen original lithograph. Printed by Vercasson, one of France’s premier stone lithograph companies. This poster is now over 100 years old! This little red-headed boy is sitting in a backing tin that has grown in size because Levurine is a yeast used in backing. The artist Onwy is known for his children's designs in the old French posters. Onwy made sure that this little boy will be happy with his baked goods by the big smile on his face. This is a great and very rare original French lithograph. As of the time of this publishing, it is the only documented copy that we can find. Smaller companies produced fewer posters due to the cost and the fact that this is from 1920 makes it even rarer. You won’t see it in someone else’s home. This is an Original Lithograph Vintage Poster

    By Edward Penfield
    Located in Alamo, CA
    This lithographic colored advertising poster entitled "Tom Sawyer Detective, A New Story by Mark Twain" was created by Edward Penfield in 1897 for Harper & Brothers. The artist's signature appears in the plate in the lower left. The poster depicts a man in a long black bathing suit sitting with his knees up, aimlessly smoking a cigarette, but looking out of the corner of his eyes at a woman in a olive green dress and tan blouse and a black hat, who sits to his left with her head propped in her left hand and a bored or concerned look on her face. The look on the faces of the couple creates an air of mystery. The title of the book is printed in red in the upper left and the issue "Harper's August" in bold letters in the lower poster. The poster promotes a new book by Mark Twain that was published initially in two issues of Harper's Monthly and also in book form by Harper & Brothers in 1896. It is a sequel to "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", published in 1876, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", published in 1884, and "Tom Sawyer Abroad", also published in 1894. The plot of the book involves Tom Sawyer attempting to solve a mysterious murder. The story is told using the first-person narrative voice of his friend Huck Finn...
