Jules Chéret
Original "Saxoleine Petrole Surete" vintage stone lithograph 1900

1900

About the Item

Original Saxoleine Petrole de Surete, artist Jules Cheret. Linen-backed turn-of-the-century original stone lithograph poster advertising Saxoleine, a lamp oil. The glow from this lamp shows its owner basking in her radiance. The poster has been archivally mounted on linen. It is in excellent condition. Jules Cheret is unquestionably the father of the poster. An artist and technician, Cheret brought color lithography to the highest levels of perfection by demonstrating how all the rainbow hues could be achieved with three or four colors. He literally created not only a new art form but an industry as well. His training as a lithographer, superb draftsmanship, and an exquisite sense of color enabled him to elevate the poster to new aesthetic levels. By the 1890s, Cheret's posters were the joy of Paris and its billboards were infused with new life. Cheret proved the poster was art and demonstrated that artistic style and commercial value could co-exist and create a new sense of vision. This is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction. This poster is conservation mounted, linen-backed, and in excellent condition. A Certificate of Authenticity comes with all of our posters. Antique posters are 'pictures of persuasion,' as we might call them, and offer a wealth of art, history, design, and popular culture for us to understand. The poster is a familiar part of our world, and we intuitively understand its role as propaganda, promotion, announcement, or advertisement." You will have a hard time finding any copy of this poster in finer condition than the one being offered here.

  • Harper's July, The German Struggle for Liberty original art nouveau poster
    By Edward Penfield
    Located in Spokane, WA
    Original Harper's July vintage poster; The German Struggle for Liberty. Original turn of the century lithograph by Edward Penfield. Size: 14 1/8" x 21 18" Penfield created this poster to publicize Bigelow’s lengthy history of the Germanic people, serialized in the Monthly as “the first popular interpretation ever given to the rehabilitation of Germany through the uprising of the German people against the Napoleanic invasion.” July’s number began the series, which was published by Harper and Brothers as a two-volume set in 1896. Harper's June 1895 HARPER’S The German Struggle for Liberty JULY [Poster for Harper’s New Monthly Magazine, Jul 1895]. German soldier at the guardhouse. Four-color lithograph: grey, blue, yellow, and red. New York: Harper & Brothers, published Jun 1895. The magazine Harper's, issue of July, confronts the problems of The German Struggle for Liberty. Shown a German soldier in a helmet and armed with a rifle stands tall, and yet an uneasiness appears on his face. At a closer look, one will notice that not only does the soldier grasp his rifle in support, but in despair. This Harper's July is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction. This poster is conservation mounted, linen backed. An restored fold mark across the middle of the image keeps this image from being rated higher (for an original 1895 poster).
