1896 poster by Privat-Livemont Absinthe Robette Les Maîtres de l'Affiche
By Georges Henri Privat-Livemont
Located in PARIS, FR
The 1896 original poster by Privat-Livemont for Absinthe Robette stands as one of the most iconic examples of the Art Nouveau movement and a testament to the golden age of advertising art. Included in the prestigious series Les Maîtres de l'Affiche as Plate 104, this poster epitomizes the elegance, fluidity, and ornamental style that defined turn-of-the-century commercial design.
Designed by Privat-Livemont, a Belgian artist renowned for his contributions to Art Nouveau, the Absinthe Robette poster was created to advertise the popular absinthe drink of the late 19th century. Absinthe, often referred to as the "Green Fairy," was a fashionable and somewhat controversial beverage, celebrated for its intoxicating allure and inspiration among artists, writers, and bohemians of the period.
Privat-Livemont was celebrated for his ability to combine decorative elegance with commercial purpose. His work for Absinthe Robette reflects the signature traits of Art Nouveau: graceful lines, flowing forms, and a harmonious blend of nature-inspired motifs. Posters like this were not merely advertisements but works of art in their own right, often displayed in cafes, bars, and public spaces, capturing the imagination of passersby.
Les Maîtres de l'Affiche (The Masters of the Poster) was a renowned collection of lithographic works, published between 1895 and 1900, that brought together the finest poster art from the greatest artists of the time. Curated by Jules Chéret, the series highlighted the artistic mastery of advertising and included works by notable artists such as Toulouse-Lautrec, Alphonse Mucha, and Privat-Livemont. Plate 104, featuring Absinthe Robette, is a shining example of the beauty and sophistication celebrated within this series.
The late 19th century saw posters emerge as a powerful medium for both art and commerce, revolutionizing the visual landscape of cities. In this golden era, artists like Privat-Livemont elevated the status of posters from functional advertisements to celebrated works of art. Through their ornate designs and expressive use of color and composition, these posters reflected the aesthetic and cultural trends of the time.
Today, the Absinthe Robette poster remains an enduring symbol of the Art Nouveau movement and a treasured piece of history. As part of Les Maîtres de l'Affiche, it holds significant cultural and artistic value, appealing to collectors, historians, and admirers of vintage advertising art...

1923 original poster by Roger Broders for the PLM railway - Salins-les-Bains
By Roger Broders
Located in PARIS, FR
The 1923 original poster by Roger Broders for the Services Automobiles de la route du Jura promoting Salins-les-Bains et le Fort St André is an exquisite example of early 20th-century travel poster design. Commissioned by the P.L.M. (Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée) railway company, this artwork perfectly reflects the charm of the Jura region while showcasing Broders' mastery of composition, color, and visual storytelling.
Roger Broders, one of the most celebrated travel poster artists of the Art Deco era, was renowned for his ability to capture the essence of a destination with elegance and clarity. His posters played a pivotal role in promoting tourism across France during the golden age of travel, often highlighting scenic routes, idyllic landscapes, and picturesque towns.
In this particular work, Broders portrays the serene beauty of the Jura region with his characteristic style: clean lines, harmonious compositions, and a rich yet restrained color palette. The poster invites travelers to explore the famous Salins-les-Bains, a historic spa town celebrated for its saltwater springs, and the iconic Fort Saint-André, a stunning hilltop fortress offering panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
The artwork vividly conveys the natural splendor of the Jura, with rolling hills, lush greenery, and soft, sunlit skies. The carefully composed scene features winding roads, inviting travelers to journey through the tranquil region aboard the “Services Automobiles”—a service that complemented the P.L.M. railway network by connecting train passengers to remote and scenic destinations by road.
Broders’ attention to detail is unmistakable. His use of warm earth tones and subtle shading creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer into the landscape. The elegantly stylized typography adds to the poster’s charm, seamlessly integrating the text into the composition without distracting from the artwork itself.
This poster is not only a masterpiece of travel advertising but also a reflection of the growing trend of leisure travel in the early 20th century. As rail travel flourished, companies like P.L.M. recognized the need to promote lesser-known but stunning destinations to affluent tourists seeking adventure, relaxation, and scenic beauty. Broders' work became an essential tool in this effort, helping to define the visual language of travel posters for decades to come.

Original travel poster by G. Vanden Eynde for Sabena Belgian World Airlines
By Vanden Eynde
Located in PARIS, FR
The circa 1960 original travel poster by G. Vanden Eynde for Sabena Belgian World Airlines is a stunning example of mid-century airline advertising, showcasing the vibrant and adventurous spirit of global travel during the era. Designed to promote Sabena's extensive routes, particularly across Africa, this poster embodies the optimism and excitement associated with the golden age of aviation.
The poster features a vivid map-centric design, with Africa at its heart, rendered in a dynamic palette of blues, oranges, yellows, and pinks. The artist, G. Vanden Heynde, uses bold color contrasts and intricate textures to convey both the geographical diversity and cultural richness of the regions Sabena served. Superimposed figures and motifs, representing local cultures and landmarks, further emphasize the airline’s commitment to connecting passengers with unique destinations.
The use of cartographic elements, such as latitude and longitude lines, reinforces the theme of global exploration. A decorative compass rose positioned prominently adds to the sense of adventure, while the luminous color scheme evokes the romance of distant lands. The Sabena logo, in its iconic red-and-white design, anchors the composition with a sense of corporate identity and trust.
Sabena (Société Anonyme Belge d'Exploitation de la Navigation Aérienne) was established in 1923 as Belgium’s national airline. By the 1960s, it had become a pioneer in long-haul aviation, particularly in routes connecting Europe to Africa. This poster reflects the airline's pride in its African network, a cornerstone of its operations and a significant draw for travelers seeking exotic adventures during the post-war travel boom.
This poster is not just a piece of advertising but also a work of art that captures the zeitgeist of the 1960s. It reflects the era’s fascination with modernity, cultural exchange, and the democratization of air travel. G. Vanden Eynde’s sophisticated yet accessible design aligns with Sabena’s goal of appealing to both seasoned travelers and newcomers to aviation.
Printed using high-quality lithographic techniques, this poster exemplifies the craftsmanship of mid-century travel advertising. Its vibrant colors and intricate details make it a sought-after collectible for aviation and travel enthusiasts, as well as fans of vintage graphic design. It represents an era when airline posters were not merely functional but also aspirational, capturing the imagination of the public and inspiring dreams of global exploration.

The 1962 original poster for BEA (British European Airways), titled "Londres: The Tower of London", was created as part of a campaign to promote London as a prime destination for international tourists. The poster specifically highlighted the Tower of London, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, as a symbol of England’s rich history and cultural significance.
During the 1960s, British European Airways played a pivotal role in shaping modern air travel within Europe and beyond. This poster was part of their effort to combine the allure of travel with the timeless appeal of London's historic sites. The Tower of London, with its storied past as a royal palace, prison, and treasury, was an ideal subject to attract history enthusiasts and travelers seeking a quintessentially British experience.
The choice of the Tower of London as the focal point of this campaign underscored the growing interest in cultural tourism during the post-war era.
