OGE HACHETTE 1960s French double sided EDUCATIONAL POSTER - NO.S 16 & 22

About the Item

We love these original c1960s large French double-sided school educational posters. Charmingly and quirkily illustrated by Gabriel Bonmati and Gilbert Michel for ogé-hachette St-Germain Paris they beautifully capture the stylings of their time. One one side we have No. 16 Le Carrefour "The Crossroads" and on the other side a very dramatic No. 22 L'Accident "The Accident". Others available. One of the most influential figures in the development of vintage posters was the French poster artist Jules Chéret. Around 1866, Chéret is credited with producing the first colour lithograph posters, using a technique he refined from the black and white process first invented by German actor and playwright Alois Senefelder in 1798. Cheret's three stone lithographic process allowed artists to achieve every colour in the rainbow using just three stones - usually red, yellow and blue - printed in careful registration. The Parisian artists, headed by Cheret and including masters Steinlen, Willette, Grasset, Bonnard, Forain and, last but certainly not least, Toulouse-Lautrec's vibrant and eye-catching designs influenced, in part, by Japanese Woodcuts brought a new level of visual appeal to the streets of Paris and, in turn, established the poster as an art form. The Belle Époque (Beautiful Era), a period of peace and frivolity in France from the late 19th to the early 20th century (1870-1914), played a significant role in the continued advancement of poster design. This era coincided with economic growth and the rise of a new middle class with disposable income and leisure time. It was during this time that the poster craze took hold in France, with posters being used for advertising various products, events, and entertainment. Over the decades that followed from these auspicious beginnings French poster design continued to flourish and designers from around the world followed suit in experimenting with poster design for advertisements for cultural events, travel, film, food and drink and more. This original vintage poster is sized 39 x 25 1/2 inches. It will be sent rolled (unframed).
