About the Item

Original Magneto Lumiere LMC vintage automotive poster from the early 1920s. There is no date or artist/. The poster is archivally linen-backed in A- condition, ready to frame. Only a few minor scuff marks on the car’s radiator grill and near the LMC lettering. Translated, it says: ELECTRIC LIGHTING WITHOUT BATTERY. Your truck will have electric lighting of quality POWERFUL ROBUST with THE: MAGNETO LIGHT. SOCHAUX Paul Courtot worked on his magneto project from 1914, and in 1918 he created his company '' La MAGNÉTO-LUMIERE LMC''; (LMC are the initials of ''LUMIÈRE-MAGNÉTO-COMBINÉS'') When the war ended, Paul Courtot created his company LMC at 48 rue Louis in Lyon. In September 1929 the company changed its status before the notary Paul Bloch of Montbéliard. Among all the equipment entering the new company, there is a Philos 6/8 HP motor car equipped with an LMC magneto-light and a Jean Majola car also equipped with the LMC. Paul Courtot worked on his magneto project from 1914, and in 1918, he created his company '' La MAGNÉTO-LUMIERE LMC''; (LMC are the initials of ''LUMIÈRE-MAGNÉTO-COMBINÉS'') at 48 rue Louis in Lyon, Montchat district. LMC's purpose was to study and develop a device for igniting engines at the same time as lighting motor vehicles. At the time, the lighting of these vehicles was carried out using acetylene lamps, which were impractical, and it was challenging to use accumulators, which were too fragile to shocks, particularly on board industrial vehicles, whose wheels were fitted with solid tires. It was only in 1932 that LMC officially adopted the name ''MAGLUM'' (a contraction of Magnéto-Lumière). This is a rare, original automotive vintage poster.

Original "La 18 ch" vintage art deco automobile poster
By Rene Vincent
Located in Spokane, WA
Original vintage poster: La 18 ch Peugeot. Archival linen-backed art deco early antique French automobile poster. Notable artist Rene Vincent. Excellent condition. Black and white lithograph on natural unbleached paper. Ready to frame. This is a full-size poster and not a magazine ad. From our research, it has been almost a decade since the last copy of this poster was available. Rare Rene Vincent automobile poster. Black and white posters are a rarity as far as vintage posters are concerned. The original idea was to catch the attention of passersby in every possible way. Color was an essential tool in advertising when posters were an essential source for name-brand recognition. The absence of color gives these auto posters a touch of class. They can also be compared to old photographs. Either way, you're looking at something special. This one is incredibly cool since it came from the talented artist Rene Vincent. If his name doesn't ring a bell, his poster "Porto Ramos" probably will if you look it up on our site. You will find that he also created automobile posters as early as 1905, which are all extremely rare and hard to find. Don’t let this excellent-condition vintage poster pass you by. Vincent only got to devote a little time to posters once he was in his forties, after working for many years in various publications--mainly humor and fashion magazines--and in decorative design. However, once he made the switch, he produced prolifically posters, even using additional pseudonyms. He preferred sleek automotive posters...
