The Waverley brand was an American company from Indianapolis (Indiana) created in 1885, known and represented throughout Europe. On the poster, Mucha chose to represent not a bicycle but its handlebars, on which a woman blacksmith leans. In her hand, she holds a branch of laurel, probably to evoke the victories won by the famous brand. A hammer and an anvil in the foreground symbolize the robustness of bicycles. Alfonphe Mucha is a Czech poster designer, illustrator, graphic designer, painter, interior designer and decorator, a spearhead of the Art Nouveau style. He began working in Paris in 1887 where he met Sarah Bernhardt for whom he made several posters. He also created a poster for the Salon des Cent where he exhibited later.

  • F. Bouisset, Original Art Nouveau Poster, Chocolat Poulain, Cocoa, Pierrot, 1898
    By Firmin Bouisset
    Located in SAINT-OUEN-SUR-SEINE, FR
    Original Cocoa Poster by Firmin Bouisset for Chocolat Poulain in 1898. Artist: Firmin Bouisset (1859-1925) Title: Chocolat Poulain Date: vers 1898 Size: 36.6 x 50.8 in / 93 x 129 cm. Printer: Imp. H.LAAS E. PECAUD & Cie, Paris Materials and Techniques: Colour lithograph on paper Linen backing: Yes Condition: A (Designates a poster in very good condition. The colours are fresh and there are no or very few paper losses. If there are imperfections they are marginal and imperceptible.) Additional Details: Advertising poster for Poulain Chocolates produced by Firmin Bouisset circa 1898. Chocolat Poulain is a French company producing chocolate since its foundation in February 1848 by Victor-Auguste Poulain, confectioner in Blois. The horse/foal is the emblem of the company. Firmin Bouisset chose here to represent the brand by a Pierrot holding a chocolate bar in his hand. Pierrot's traditional tears have been replaced with chocolate smeared all over his face. The Pierrot is known for his naivety but also and above all for being trustworthy, and that's probably what Bouisset wanted to highlight here: you can eat Chocolat Poulain with your eyes closed. Firmin Bouisset, born September 2, 1859 in Moissac and died March 19, 1925 in Paris, is a French illustrator, lithographer and poster artist. He was received at the School of Fine Arts in March 1880 in the class of Alexandre Cabanel, and exhibited two paintings the same year at the Salon. He became known especially for his advertising posters, including the small schoolboy LU biscuits, paper cigarette JOB, and the girl's chocolate Menier...
