About the Item

This original 1928 advertising poster for Citroën promotes the brand's delivery vehicle, a symbol of France’s growing commercial dynamism in the interwar period. More than just an advertisement, this piece embodies the revolutionary spirit of André Citroën, whose forward-thinking vision helped shape the future of automotive design and production. By the late 1920s, Citroën had already distinguished itself with mass production techniques modeled after Ford, and was the first European manufacturer to fully embrace modern advertising strategies. This poster would have been part of a comprehensive campaign to showcase Citroën’s utility vehicles as not only reliable and affordable, but also stylish and suited for the rapidly expanding network of small businesses and urban logistics. Featuring streamlined typography and bold graphic composition typical of the era’s Art Deco influences, the design emphasizes speed, efficiency, and mechanical reliability—key traits associated with the Citroën brand. Highly sought after by collectors of early automotive history, advertising ephemera, and French industrial design, this piece is a testament to the golden age of poster art and the ingenuity of one of France’s most iconic carmakers.

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...
