Audrey Hepburn 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' Original Movie Poster, Japanese, 1969
Located in Devon, GB
Candy colors combine to perfection with the adorable Audrey on this charming Japanese B2 poster for a 1969 re-release of the perennially popular 'Breakfast at Tiffany's.' Holly Golightly would be Audrey Hepburn’s defining role, establishing her status as one of the greatest screen legends and style icons of all time. It seems unbelievable now that Truman Capote, author of the novella on which the movie was based, had his heart set on Marilyn Monroe for the part. Monroe pulled out of the running when her acting coach advised her not to play 'a lady of the night...

Located in SAINT-OUEN-SUR-SEINE, FR
Original Vintage Poster for Mossant Hats dating from 1938 by Leonetto Cappiello. Artist: Leonetto Cappiello Title: Mossant Date: 1938 Size: 47.25 X 63 in / 120 X 160 cm Printer : Editions Nouvelles Cappiello, EDIMO, 15 rue Galvani - Paris Materials and Techniques: Colour lithograph on paper Linen backing: Yes Condition: A (Normally designates a poster in very good condition. Colours are fresh and there is very little or no paper loss. Any imperfections are marginal and unnoticeable). Additional Details: The headquarters Mossant was founded in 1833 by Casimir Mossant. The company is developing thanks in particular to the development of the railway, which allows for distant supplies and expeditions. In the 1920s, the firm Mossant is at its peak. The factory employs 1,200 workers and produces up to 2000 hats per day, nearly half of which is in the United States. After 1929, the economic crisis affected exports and the company diversified its production of felt (bags, berets, ...). Hat manufacturing activity declined and, in the 1950s, the factory's activity was converted into apparel until 1985, when the company was wound up. About Leonetto Cappiello, The Father of Modern Advertising Leonetto Cappiello, born on April 9, 1875, in Livorno, Italy, is considered a pioneer in the world of advertising, often referred to often hailed as the "father of modern advertising." His groundbreaking work in poster design revolutionized the industry and cemented his status as a visionary artist. Cappiello was renowned for his innovative and impactful poster designs, characterized by bold colors, simple forms, strong outlines and a strong focus on the product. His work significantly influenced the development of advertising as an art form. Initially drawn to caricature, Cappiello's true genius blossomed when he shifted his focus to poster art. His innovative approach, marked by bold colors, simple colours, simplified forms, strong outlines and a strong emphasis on product identification, set him apart from his contemporaries. Cappiello’s posters were instantly recognizable, capturing the essence of a product or brand in a single, powerful image. His work significantly influenced the development of advertising as an art form. The artist's career flourished in Paris, where he immersed himself in the vibrant artistic scene and his work spanned various industries: Food and Beverage: Campari, Cinzano, Café Martin...

The Beatles by Richard Avedon, Look Magazine, Offset Lithographs, Framed
Located in New York, NY
The Beatles by Richard Avedon, offset lithographs, for Look Magazine, framed. Set of 4 Look Magazine Beatles posters with bright colors and minor toning and handling wear. The posters are in very good condition - having been stored in the original shipping tube (included in the listing). Each poster has been archivally floated on a white matte board, under UV plexiglass and framed in a 1.25 inch white lacquer wood cube molding. Measurements: Sheet image sizes: 31 inches H; x 22.5 inches W; Framed size: 39 inches H x 30 inches W x 1.25 inches D. Printed in the lower left of each poster is the band member's name; E.g., JOHN LENNON photographed by Richard Avedon for Look Magazine. Original Look Magazine shipping tube is emblazoned with groovy psychedelic "Beatles", shows the recipient's address and the sender's return address: Beatles Posters Box 1 Look Building Des Moines, IA. 50304 Background of Avedon/Beatles Collaboration: The Beatles were photographed by Richard Avedon on August 11th, 1967. The shoot took place at a photography studio in a penthouse at Thompson House, 200 Gray's Inn Road, London, England. The American photographer took a number of shots of the group, four of which were later embellished with psychedelic effects. The posters were printed by Waterlow & Sons Ltd of London/ The publisher's information appears in the lower right margin of each poster. One a side note, Avedon sold the copyrights of both the photos he took that day and his psychedelic embellishments, executed in post production, to NEMS Enterprises, Ltd. - a firm run by the Beatles music manager Brian Epstein. On Aug 27, 1967, sixteen days after Avedon’s Beatles photo session, Beatles manager Brian Epstein died from an overdose of Carbitol. The Beatles were shocked. By strange twist of fate, the Beatles were attending Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s meditation seminar at Bangor, North Wales. The guru they had just met in London became a substitute for their use of psychedelics and a cushion for their bereavement. Avedon, unknowingly to the Beatles, or even himself, had captured this true spiritual essence just weeks before. January 1968 was the initial concurrent publication of the Avedon photos...
