Aleardo Villa
"G. Contratti & Co. Casa di L Ordine", Aleardo Villa, Lithograph, 54x78, Framed

1890

About the Item

Rare large (2-sheet format) Italian stone lithograph original fashion poster by Aleardo Villa, 1890. This is an advertisement for G. Contratti and Co. in Milao, Torino, Genova, and Rome. This stunning art nouveau advertisement captures the essence of elegance with its intricate design, showcasing three fancifully dressed women laughing and smiling while admiring an architectural painting. The man in the fancy black tux and top hat adds a touch of sophistication to the overall scene. The intricate details of the artwork are a testament to the skill of the artist, and the overall effect is simply breathtaking. The piece is finished off in a black ornate frame. Appreciated painter, illustrator, and advertiser, Aleardo Villa (1885-1906) studied under the direction of Bertini at the Accademia di Brera. Skilled in portraying faces and female figures, sensual and dressed in fashion, towards the end of his career Villa abandoned painting to devote himself exclusively to advertising graphics: he was an appreciated poster artist at the Ricordi di Milano.

  • 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).
