Original French Political Poster May 68 - La lutte continue

1968

About the Item

Beautiful original poster of May 68, with the slogan La Lutte Continue. Along with the "wild" graffiti written on walls and banners found in the processions of demonstrations or on the facades of occupied buildings, posters were one of the preferred means of expression of those participating in the events of May-June 1968. Their characteristic iconography and the shocking slogans they put forward had a great impact and they immediately appeared as one of the signatures of the vast protest movement that was then crossing French society. They are thus among the emblematic symbols of May 68 and figure prominently in its "mythological" pantheon, like the cobblestones, the sites on strike or the face of Daniel Cohn-Bendit. In Paris, many of these posters are made at the National School of Fine Arts, occupied since May 14. Artists, graphic designers, students and ex-students work day and night to design and print them, with print runs varying from case to case. Political - May 68 - France Factory and fist raised

Circa 1900 original french advertising poster created for Parfumerie Colgate
Located in PARIS, FR
This circa 1900 original poster, created for Parfumerie Colgate, is a striking example of early 20th-century advertising that blends artistic charm with commercial appeal. Designed in an era when product quality was a major selling point, this poster promotes Colgate's shaving soap, emphasizing its gentle formula that does not dry out the skin. The illustration features a young woman, elegantly dressed in period attire, presenting a handful of lather. Her warm smile and inviting gesture create an engaging, human-centered approach to advertising, drawing viewers in with a sense of trust and quality. The soft color palette and simple yet effective composition reflect the Art Nouveau influence, which was dominant in commercial design during this time. The prominent placement of the Colgate name and the detailed product boxes in the corners suggest early brand marketing strategies still recognizable today. By using both visual appeal and strong textual reinforcement, this poster exemplifies the elegant and persuasive advertising methods of the Belle Époque. Today, this rare and beautifully designed advertisement serves as a collectible piece of Colgate’s rich history, offering a glimpse into the evolution of branding, consumer culture, and product marketing at the turn of the 20th century.
