This elegant circa 1925 original travel poster by Étienne Clérissi promotes Monaco for the PLM railway company (Paris–Lyon–Méditerranée), one of the great producers of luxury travel advertising in France during the early 20th century. The composition offers a breathtaking elevated view of the coastline, with the peninsula and its fortified architecture extending into the dazzling blue waters of the Mediterranean. Lush vegetation in the foreground, including agave and exotic coastal plants, frames the scene, enhancing the sense of sun-drenched beauty and refined escape that Monaco represented in the interwar years. Clérissi’s style combines painterly richness with a carefully constructed sense of atmosphere. The colours are warm and luminous, capturing the play of light on sea, sky, and stone, while the sweeping curve of the bay leads the eye gracefully through the landscape. Posters of this period often emphasised elegance, leisure, and sophistication, and this work fits perfectly within that tradition—presenting Monaco as both a natural paradise and a cultured destination associated with luxury, glamour, and the Riviera lifestyle. Produced when railway travel was at its peak and posters were a primary tool of tourism promotion, this work is not only a beautiful image but also a piece of cultural history. It reflects the romantic vision of the French Riviera that captivated travellers of the 1920s and continues to shape its identity today. Stylish, evocative, and artistically refined, it remains a superb example of classic PLM poster...

Margrete Levy 1881-1962 Levy was a Danish artist; she worked in Paris from 1905-1911. Levy was niece to the Danish master painter Kristian Zartmann. She married French author Louis Nicolai Levy in 1911. She applied for technical school at Charlotte Sode and Julie Meldahl's school before applying for admission to the Academy of Fine Arts for Women, where she studied at Viggo Johansen 1900-1902. In 1902 she traveled to Florence as a nanny for a Danish family, giving her the opportunity to study the old masters of the art collections. When she returned home, she continued her education in 1904-05 at Bertha and Dorph's painting school. In 1905, she traveled to Paris and taught at various drawing schools while studying the collections of the Louvre, especially Leonardo da Vinci, who inspired her for the symbolic painting Five Sisters , 1905, which she debuted at the Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition the following year. 1906-07 she was a student at the French Academy in Rome. With a few interruptions she exhibited at Charlottenborg's Spring Exhibition 1913-43, and on several occasions she also participated in Charlottenborg's Autumn Exhibition and the Artists' Autumn Exhibition. She had several personal exhibitions, including 1910 in Ole Haslunds Hus, 1919 and 1923 in Kunstforeningen, 1927 at Møntergården and 1945 in Alfred Andersen's Art Shop. She participated in several foreign exhibitions, for example Modern Danish Artists in Brighton, England 1912, and Exposition présentée par le Club international Féminin , Paris 1958. She was often represented at exhibitions reserved for women, for example Nine Painters in Admiral Gjeddes Gaard, in 1936 and Nordic Artists in Stockholm 1948. She participated in the Women's Artists Retrospective Exhibition in 1920, which was organized by the Women's Artists Society, on whose board she sat. Along with 18 other members, including Anna and Helga Ancher, Christine Swane, Elisabeth Neckelmann and, Olivia Holm-Møller, she exhibited at the Kunstforeningen in 1930. For the painting Three Sisters , she was awarded 1931 Carlson's Prize by the Academy. The painting shows both back to the old masters and to the new realists such as Niels Strøbek...

A charismatic, 1920s charcoal on paper drawing of a dapper young man seated beside a pint glass by famed Chicago artist Francis Chapin. Image size: 12 x 9 inches. Matted size: 18 x 14 inches Estate stamped on reverse. Provenance: Estate of the artist. Francis Chapin, affectionately called the “Dean of Chicago Painters” by his colleagues, was one of the city’s most popular and celebrated painters in his day. Born at the dawn of the 20th Century in Bristolville, Ohio, Chapin graduated from Washington & Jefferson College near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania before enrolling at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1922. He would set down deep roots at the Art Institute of Chicago, exhibiting there over 31 times between 1926 and 1951. In 1927 Chapin won the prestigious Bryan Lathrop Fellowship from the Art Institute – a prize that funded the artist’s yearlong study trip to Europe. Upon his return to the United States, Chapin decided to remain in Chicago, noting the freedom Chicago artists have in developing independently of the pressure to conform to pre-existing molds (as was experienced by artists in New York, for example). Chapin became a popular instructor at the Art Institute, teaching there from 1929 to 1947 and at the Art Institute’s summer art school in Saugatuck, Michigan (now called Oxbow) between 1934 – 1938 (he was the director of the school from 1941-1945). Chapin’s contemporaries among Chicago’s artists included such luminaries as Ivan Le Lorraine Albright...
