About the Item

Original Vintage 1981 Cappiello Exhibition Poster held at the Paris Grand Palais. Celebrating the Iconic Artwork of Leonetto Cappiello. Linen backed in very good condition without any restoration or damage. This authentic 1981 exhibition poster, dedicated to the legendary art of Leonetto Cappiello, is a must-have collectible for art enthusiasts, vintage poster aficionados, and lovers of early 20th-century graphic design. Known as the "Father of Modern Advertising," Cappiello revolutionized the world of poster art with his bold, colorful, and striking designs that captured the spirit of the Belle Époque and beyond. With its vibrant imagery and elegant typography, the poster commemorates an exhibition celebrating Cappiello's timeless contribution to advertising and graphic art. Measuring [insert dimensions], this piece showcases his extraordinary talent and serves as a historical artifact of the early 1980s, which saw a renewed interest in Art Nouveau and vintage advertising aesthetics. The design features one of Cappiello's signature works, which often paired whimsical, attention-grabbing characters with sleek, minimalist backgrounds, effectively drawing the viewer's eye and making them unforgettable. Leonetto Cappiello (1875–1942), an Italian-French artist, redefined poster art in the early 20th century with his innovative and modern approach. Unlike his contemporaries, who leaned heavily on intricate detail and allegorical themes, Cappiello's style was bold and forward-thinking. He employed vivid, contrasting colors and playful imagery that left a lasting impression on viewers—a groundbreaking technique in the emerging advertising industry. His work was dynamic, focusing on simplicity and impact, paving the way for the modern methods of branding and advertising we see today. Cappiello created over 530 posters during his illustrious career, promoting everything from alcoholic beverages (like the iconic Maurin Quina green devil design) to luxury goods, theatres, and transportation. His influence on poster art cannot be overstated; his designs set the standard for advertising visuals and are still celebrated for their artistic and commercial brilliance. This is an original vintage poster, not a reproduction!

Tom Sawyer Detective by Mark Twain: 19th C. Framed Colored Poster
By Edward Penfield
Located in Alamo, CA
This lithographic colored advertising poster entitled "Tom Sawyer Detective, A New Story by Mark Twain" was created by Edward Penfield in 1897 for Harper & Brothers. The artist's signature appears in the plate in the lower left. The poster depicts a man in a long black bathing suit sitting with his knees up, aimlessly smoking a cigarette, but looking out of the corner of his eyes at a woman in a olive green dress and tan blouse and a black hat, who sits to his left with her head propped in her left hand and a bored or concerned look on her face. The look on the faces of the couple creates an air of mystery. The title of the book is printed in red in the upper left and the issue "Harper's August" in bold letters in the lower poster. The poster promotes a new book by Mark Twain that was published initially in two issues of Harper's Monthly and also in book form by Harper & Brothers in 1896. It is a sequel to "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", published in 1876, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", published in 1884, and "Tom Sawyer Abroad", also published in 1894. The plot of the book involves Tom Sawyer attempting to solve a mysterious murder. The story is told using the first-person narrative voice of his friend Huck Finn...
