About the Item

"Emprunt de la Defense Nationale" is an original lithograph poster by Francisque Poulbot. It depicts a mother with three young children saying goodbye to her husband as he leaves for war. This was an advertisement for French people to donate to the war effort during the first world war. 43 1/2" x 30 1/4" art 48" x 34 1/2" frame Emprunt de la Défense Nationale [National Defence Loan] WW1 French Home Front National Defence Loan. Don't forget to subscribe... for Victory!... and his return home! Published under the auspices of the National Federation of French Friendly Societies which calls on all workers, all provident people, all patriots for the liberation of our land and ultimate victory. Francisque Poulbot (6 February 1879, Saint-Denis – 16 September 1946, Paris) was a French affichiste (literally, "poster designer"), draughtsman and illustrator. Born into a teaching family – his parents were both lecturers – Francisque Poulbot was the eldest of seven children. He was a gifted draughtsman, but shied away from the École des Beaux-Arts. From 1900, his drawings started to be published in the press. He moved to Montmartre, and in February 1914 married Léona Ondernard, before leaving for the Front; he was however sent back the following year. During the First World War, he drew patriotic posters and postcards, for which he was put under house arrest under the German occupation of France during World War II. In 1920–1921, being very attached to the Montmartre life, Poulbot became involved in creating the République de Montmartre, with his friends Adolphe Willette, Jean-Louis Forain and Maurice Neumont. In 1923 he opened a dispensary on the Rue Lepic to help the needy children of Montmartre. He died in Paris on 16 September 1946 and was buried in Montmartre Cemetery. Source: Wikipedia

"Victoria" original lithograph signed by Malvin Marr "Zsissly" Albright
By Malvin Marr Albright
Located in Milwaukee, WI
The present print, "Victoria," is the most iconic example of the printmaking of Malvin Marr Albright, called Zsissly. The composition for the image comes from Albright's painting from about 1935, done while he was studying at the Art Institute of Chicago. We can see clearly in the image how he possesses the same skill for unsettling, magic realist images as his more famous twin brother Ivan Le Lorraine: The lady Victoria sits at a dining room table, surrounded by luxurious still-life objects. All the textures and surfaces of the image express a horror vacui as seen in his painted works, such as "The Trail of Time is Dust" at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art. The door in this print recalls one of the more famous works by his brother, "That Which I Should Have Done I Did Not Do (The Door)" at the Art Institute of Chicago. 1947, after ca. 1935 original painting 8 1/2 x 13 inches, image 12 x 16 inches, sheet 16 1/4 x 20 1/2 frame Signed in pencil, lower right Title in pencil, lower left Published by Associated American Artists Inc. Unnumbered from the edition of 250 A painter and sculptor, Malvin Albright was born in Chicago, one of twin sons of Adam Emory Albright, famous Chicago figure painter of juvenile subjects, who often used Malvin and his brother Ivan Le Lorraine as models.
