The 1911 original poster for La Bicyclette - Le Globe is a remarkable testament to the early 20th-century cycling culture and the rise of competitive sports marketing. Created to promote the Le Globe bicycle brand, this poster emphasizes its association with significant cycling achievements, including victories in prestigious races like the Tour de France 1910 and 1911 and the grueling Paris-Brest-Paris 1911. Cycling was rapidly gaining popularity in Europe during this era, not only as a mode of transportation but as a competitive sport that captured the imagination of the public. The poster highlights Le Globe bicycles’ durability and superior design, attributing their performance to technological advancements such as the Eadie freewheel, Hans Renold chain, and Bowden brakes. These innovations are prominently mentioned as key factors behind the brand's success in overcoming the rigors of demanding races. Victories by riders using Le Globe bicycles are proudly celebrated in the poster, with detailed references to stage wins in the Tour de France and the extraordinary records set during the Paris-Brest-Paris race. The detailed text serves as both a chronicle of accomplishments and an endorsement of the brand’s reliability and superiority. The typographic design, typical of early 20th-century posters, conveys authority and credibility while catering to an audience eager for both sporting news and technical innovation. This promotional piece stands as an enduring relic of an era when cycling was not just a sport but a symbol of progress and industrial ingenuity. Today, the La Bicyclette - Le Globe poster...

Antique Rooster Portrait Prosper Alphonse Isaac (France, 1858-1924) Woodblock Print circa 1910 9 x 7 1/8 (15 1/4 x 17 frame) inches The excellent book "The Great Wave: The Influence of Japanese Woodcuts on French Prints" which was an exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1974, recounts the phenomenal "cult of Japan" in late nineteenth-century France and reveals through direct comparisons its particular impact on the graphic work of Manet, Degas, Cassatt, Bonnard, Vuillard, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Gauguin. This print directly relates to the discovery of Japanese art most notably through the woodblock prints which found their way to the West oftentimes as stuffing or packing materials from consumer goods that were being imported to the West at the end of the 19th century. Prosper-Alphonse Isaac was born in a well-to-do family. This gave him the means not only of leaving his native Calais to pursue a career as an artist in Paris, but also the means to acquire art. Isaac was particularly drawn to Japanese arts, which he collected avidly. Many of the objects he bought were eventually given to museums. As a printmaker Isaac started drawing seascapes in dry point, but eventually moved on to become one of only a handful of artists versed in color woodcut techniques in France. His compositions, generally small in scale, are heavily influenced by the arts of Japan. He printed small editions of these works. Aside from this artistic activity, Isaac was also an active textile decorator. "This mark, which he borrows from Hokusaï and Totoya Hokkeï...

The original 1915 poster featuring Lord Kitchener's iconic proclamation serves as a powerful artifact of World War I propaganda, encapsulating the urgency and fervor of the times. With the backdrop of the Great War raging across Europe, governments on both sides sought to rally their citizens to support the war effort in various ways, including recruitment, fundraising, and industrial production. The poster's message is clear and direct, conveying the urgency of the situation and the need for immediate action. The central quote from Lord Kitchener emphasizes the critical importance of three key resources: men, materials, and money. These were seen as the essential elements necessary to sustain the war effort and ensure victory on the battlefield. Lord Kitchener, as the British Secretary...

Harry Leslie Hoffman (1871 - 1964) The Artist's Wife (Beatrice Pope) at the Loom, circa 1915 Oil on canvas 30 x 32 inches Housed in a period Newcomb-Macklin frame Provenance: Estate of the artist Private Collection, Massachusetts This painting depicts the artist's wife at the loom, producing textile versions of Hoffman's underwater paintings. The screen shown behind Bea is an underwater scene also painted by Hoffman. The study of this painting is held in the collection of the Wolfsonian Museum in Florida. Harry Leslie Hoffman was born in Cressona, a small community in Pennsylvania's Schuylkill Valley. His mother was an amateur artist who encouraged her son to pursue a career in the arts. In 1893, Hoffman entered the School of Art at Yale University and studied with John Ferguson Weir, the son of Robert Walter Weir. After graduation in 1897, Hoffman moved to New York to continue his studies at the Art Students League. He also traveled to Paris and took classes at the Académie Julien. In the summer of 1902, Hoffman attended the Lyme Summer School of Art, in the town of Old Lyme on the Connecticut coast. The school was headed by Frank Vincent Dumond and was located in a boarding house owned by Florence Griswold. The school eventually grew into an artists' colony and a center for American Impressionism. When Hoffman first arrived as a student, he was not permitted to stay in the house which was designated for the professional artists only. However, his outgoing personality soon won him many friends at the colony. In 1905, Hoffman settled in Old Lyme and worked as a full member of the artist colony. He was particularly influenced by Willard Leroy Metcalf, an Impressionist also working in Old Lyme. Fellow artists later fondly recalled Hoffman's antics at the Griswold house, which included playing the flute and banjo, tap-dancing, singing humorous songs, and performing magic tricks. In 1910 Hoffman...

Original woodcut 6.63 x 8.5 in (16.84 x 21.59 cm) Framed 18.5 x 20.38 in #145 in the catalogue Raisonné of Kandinsky's Graphic Works by Hans K. Roethel

Image dimensions: 26.2x9.1 cm. I Buffoni is a beautiful colored lithographed original manifesto on cardboard, realized by the Italian artist and one of the fathers of the modern Italian poster art, Leopoldo Metlicovitz (Trieste, 1868 - Ponte Lambro, 1944). Printed by Officine Ricordi, Milan in 1914, this advertising poster for "I Buffoni" is inspired by the Art Nouveau graphic style. Indeed Metlicovitz, through the Ricordi, realized much advertising posters and manifestoes for many emerging companies such as Pirelli, Ettore Moretti, Magazzini Mele in Naples, relied with his talented pencil. The Liberty atmosphere is palpable from the sensuality of the female body appearing flat and emptied and turning into a mere twisted black contouring graphic line. The colors are enameled, the languid glances, the fixed smiles, veined by an almost imperceptible underground decadence that is a prelude to the First World War. This is a wonderful vintage advertising poster, with the inscriptions printed on lower margin, under the image: "L. Metlicovitz / Off. G. Ricordi and C. Milano / 70 x 200. In excellent conditions, except for some minor stains along the margins. This modern artwork shows the vintage Art Nouveau taste and the Metlicovitz's draftsmanship and his full mastery of the artistic medium, has the dignity of an object of art to collect and could be a colorful and fashionable piece for your sophisticated home furniture. Leopoldo Metlicovitz (Trieste, 1868 - Ponte Lambro, 1944) The Italian painter, illustrator, theatrical and advertising scenographer is considered one of the precursors of Futurism and, together with Leonetto Cappiello, Adolf Hohenstein, Giovanni Maria Mataloni and Marcello Dudovich, one of the fathers of modern Italian poster art. He began his artistic career at the age of fourteen working as an apprentice in a typography in Udine, where he learned the technique of lithography. Here he is noticed by Giulio Ricordi, owner of the namesake Officine Grafiche, who invites him to Milan to work as a lithographer. In 1892, after collaborating with Tensi, a photographic product company, he returned to Ricordi as technical director. At the same time, he entered the theatrical environment and began his career as a set designer and costume designer at La Scala. The Mele di Napoli tailoring company entrusted him with the task of advertising his clothes and in 1906, on the occasion of the great Universal Exposition in Milan, he won the competition for the fair poster, establishing himself also as a poster artist and then collaborating with several magazines as an illustrator. For Ricordi he takes care of the illustrations of calendars, opera librettos, postcards. Other famous images created by him are those for the poster of the film Cabiria, a blockbuster of the silent film scripted by Gabriele D'Annunzio, and the trademark that is still used today by the Brothers Branca Distilleries, producers of Fernet Branca...
