Albert Gerrer
Founded in 1869 in Mulhouse, France, this mirror and glass processing company first became known in the 1920s and 1930s during the Art Deco era. It continued its operations after 1950 and is well known among collectors for producing mirrors and sandblasted glass for furniture, especially screen-printed glass signs and promotional items.
Jean Colin was a French graphic designer born in Paris in 1912. He was one of the founding fathers of AGI (International Graphic Alliance) and became its first general secretary. He made a name as a poster designer. His work had much in common with André François, Raymond Savignac, and Francis Bernard, all of his generation. His posters had a remarkable lyrical quality and often naive and disarming humour, which appealed to a broad audience. Jean Colin made more than 300 posters. He received medals and awards for many of them, among them one from the Académie de l'Affiche, for the best poster of the year in 1943. Jean Colin also won the Most Beautiful Poster's gold medal in 1959. He worked in his arts and advertising studio for essential clients like Shell, Omo, Pernod, Cinzano, and other prestigious French companies and the movie industry. Colin taught at the École Supérieur des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.

In 1949, he traveled to Basel and joined a group of graphic designers, this decision would lead to the creation of the 'Alliance Graphique Internationale' in Paris in 1952. Colin worked hard as a young graphic artist, designing over three hundred posters and countless awards. He stands today as one of the most popular French poster designers.
