About the Item
Original L'Andalouise au Temps des Maures vintage art nouveau poster.
L'Andalousie au Temps des Maures. Exposition de 1900.
Imprimerie CHAIX (Ateliers Cheret). Reference: Broido 523, DFP 265.
The Spanish pavilion at the 1900 World's Fair in Paris featured an exhibit of Andalusian art from the time of the Moorish occupation of the Iberian peninsula. The "Moors were Islamic invaders from Africa who entered Spain around the year 700, remaining in power until they were decisively beaten at Granada in 1492."
L’Andalouise refers to Andalusia, which, in ancient times, was populated by the Iberians (from Asia Minor and northern Turkey), the Phoenicians (ancestors of Lebanese), the Carthaginians (former inhabitants of current Tunisia) and Tartessians. It is then under the obedience of the Carthaginians and then the Romans. It was occupied by the Moors, in French the Maures, of 711 until 1492. This is what this incredible poster, by the master of color printing Jules Cheret, “L’Andalouise au Temps des Maures” translates to “Andalusia in the Time of the Moors.” The “Moors” refers to the North African Moorish Umayyad army. Their leader’s name was Tariq ibn-Ziyad, and they landed at Gibraltar and brought most of the Iberian Peninsula under Islamic rule in an eight-year campaign. Land of the Vandals is the Arabic name given to the Iberian Peninsula by its Muslim conquerors and consequential inhabitants.
Often regarded as the father of the modern poster, Jules Cheret's images had a lasting effect on graphic design so influential that the French government awarded him the Légion d'honneur in 1890 to recognize his work. Most notably, he is remembered for what became known as his "Cherettes," free-spirited depictions of beautiful women who were neither saintly nor overtly sexualized, as was the stereotypical trend of the day. He applies this artistic principle to this lovely advertisement, which he created to generate interest in a Spanish exhibition at the upcoming Paris Exhibition of 1900 detailing Andalusia's Moorish history.

- Harper's July, The German Struggle for Liberty original art nouveau posterBy Edward PenfieldLocated in Spokane, WAOriginal 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).Category
