Date: 1970s Size: 12.5 x 27 inches Artist: Anonymous About The Poster: The politics of the province of Quebec have always provided inspiration for it's homegrown poets, musicians, playwrights and composers. In the 1970s and 80s (and today!) there was a great uprising of nationalist sentiment amongst the French population of the province who felt that they had been treated as second-class citizens for too long. This social and political malaise was very evident in the outpouring of music and performance pieces - and posters of same - during that period. Internet research indicates that Langevin 1938-1995 was a poet and animator who worked extensively in the province. He was also a part of the show Songs and Poems of the Resistance - 1971 - to which I believe these posters refer. He won the Du Maurier prize posthumously in 1996, the Canadian Governor General Award in 1978 and the Alain-Grandbois prize in 1994. This poster was in the private collection of a noted jazz musician and producer and measures 12.5 x 27 inches.

1970s Quebec Contemporary Poster, Gilbert Langevin

Poster

Date: 1983Size: 21 x 30 inches About The Poster: Quebec's history has always been tied to its roots as a country discovered by France and later named "New France." This poster, simple in colour but more than effective in its delivery of the message, focuses on the boats that brought early settlers to the "New World" and the history that ensued from that point of contact. Printed in 1983, this poster marks the 375th anniversary of the founding of the city of Quebec. Minor edge wear, ready to frame. Rare.

1983 Canadian Poster - Québec, 375 ans, Une ville d'histoire 1608-1983

Default Title

Date: 1930s Size: 26 x 36 inches Artist: H. Prost This is a classic French late Art Deco period poster featuring a buff rugby player keeping pace with a stallion - due no doubt to Lavocat, an 'irradiated' food. Even today the American FDA believes that irradiating food can burn off harmful bacteria, airborne germs and other microbes which can adversely affect food. We love the depth of color, the texture and oomph of this poster - powerful and very, very Art Deco. Signed in the lithographic plate by Prost and printed by the Fort Printers in Lyon. Measures 26 x 36 inches and professionally mounted on linen. Art Deco was a popular international art design movement from 1925 until the 1940s, affecting the decorative arts such as architecture, interior design and industrial design, as well as the visual arts such as fashion, painting, the graphic arts and film. At the time, this style was seen as elegant, glamorous, functional and modern. This poster is in excellent condition - the colors really pop and we feel it will look wonderful framed!

1930s French Art Deco Food Poster, Produits Lavocat

Date: 1914 Size: 9.5 x 12.5 Notes: Poster, Small Poster, Carton Artist: SEM/Goursat Information: For more details, please call 514 656 3301 About The Poster: Music sheets like these were popular in Paris in the early 20th century. Artists like Misti, Ibels and Steinlen helped popularize the medium when they illustrated the famous "Paris en Chanson" series of music sheets in the 1890s. This particular booklet was for a piece by famous French chansonnier Felix Mayol (the handsome fellow depicted), named Cousine. According to Wikipedia, a piece entitled Cousine from 1918 is part of Mayol's filmography, hence our dating of this booklet to 1918. Wikipedia also writes: "Mayol was born in Toulon, France. His parents were both amateur singers and actors, who arranged for Felix to make his debut stage at six years of age. In 1895 he went to Paris and the Montparnasse Quarter where he began a career in entertainment that spanned more than forty years. He adopted a camp and effeminate manner on stage as part of his theatrical persona.[1] He sang the famous song "Viens poupoule, viens poupoule, viens...", and performed many songs by Théodore Botrel. In the early years of the 20th century some of Mayol's performances were captured by an early form of talking picture. He would record his voice, then the motion picture camera would film him as he lip-synced to the record. Several of his "Phono-Cinema" films exist." Mayol's portrait, characterized by the fluffy red-hair you see in this piece, was a comon image in French popular culture at the time. Another poster advertizing the singer as "le chanteur comique de Paris" was recently estimated to be worth between 2500 and 3000 (*Poster Auctions International, Feb. 13th 2011 Winter Sale). Needless to say, for lovers of pop culture, comedy, or history, this piece is quite collectible, AND affordable! Signed SEM, which was renown artist Georges Goursat's pseudonym. "Sem’s unique talent made his work very identifiable, particularly because of the essential sobriety of his composition, in which his characters usually emerge from a white or plain background rather than being more obvious caricatures. His work is particularly associated with the Belle Epoque and, during this period, he wrote numerous articles chronicling theatre shows, fashion, travel and artistic reviews. He also created a number of very beautiful posters illustrating subjects like the clowns Footit and Chocolat, the tourist towns of Deauville, Cannes and Monte Carlo, and also a number of businesses including Benedictine." (The Virtual Absynthe Museum: http://www.oxygenee.com/absinthe/art8.html) This piece is matted and framed. In excellent condition.

Date: 1932 Size: 58 x 80.5 inches Artist: Marchesi, Marcello - printed by F. lli Bonetti in Milano A very striking original Art Deco poster for Lazzaroni Amaretti Di Sarono, an Italian sweet that has been produced by the company since the early 18th century.

The poster is oversized, measuring 58 x 80.5 inches, is linen backed, and in excellent condition. Very reflective of the brutalist style that was popular in Italy at the time, it has extremely vibrant colors and strong lines. Perfect for a restaurant or bar - or a home kitchen with a big wall.
