Devos
c. 1905
61 x 43 cm
This very artistic poster by Devos, has a caption directly translated in English as 'the funny ones of cuckoos'?? I guess a flying balloon and a unique flying machine did seem a bit cuckoo in 1905!? We see these cuckoo balloons fly over Yarra Bend Park on most clear mornings, 105 years later!?

Galerie Montmartre has an extensive collection of 'Tour de France' posters and maps such as this one. An incentive to follow 'le tour', these maps occupied many enthusiasts waking hours as they followed the cyclists across France.

Colourful advertising poster from 1952 for the Tour de France. These posters, produced every year and to this day, allow the bike enthusiast to chart the course of their favourite cyclists and to keep up with the leaders.

The Tour de France in 1965 was won by Felice Gimondi (Italy)... Gimondi went on to become one of only five riders, the others being Alberto Contador and five-time Tour winners Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx and Bernard Hinault, to have won all three of the major Tours.

Tom Simpson, an English cyclist, died of exhaustion on the slopes of Mont Ventoux during the 13th stage of the Tour de France in 1967. The post mortem found he had taken amphetamines and alcohol, a deadly combination combined with heat, the climb of the Ventoux and a stomach complaint.

Bernard Thévénet just edged Lucien Van Impe, the winner of the 1976 Tour, out to win the 1977 Tour de France by the smallest margin since 1968. It was the last Tour for Eddy Merckx, who won the race five times, but could not star in this edition, only reaching sixth place.

The 1954 Tour de France was the 41st Tour de France, taking place from July 8 to August 1. It consisted of 23 stages over 4656 km, ridden at an average speed of 33.229 km/h. The race was won by Louison Bobet, the second of his three consecutive wins.

Thelex... the paint that gives a brilliant, solid finish - who could ask for anything more? Obviously Thelex had a lot going for it in the 1930s, but looks like it hasn't made it as a marketable commodity in 2010!? Lucky Eric brought it to our attention when he did!?

Celestino Piatti
1977
91 x 128 cm
Celestino Piatti (1922-2007) was a Swiss graphic artist, painter and book designer. A common theme in his work was the owl, a messenger of good luck or misfortune, or as a symbol of wisdom. In 1992 Piatti said 'You can draw a thousand times the owl, but never get its secret'.
Palais De La DansePalais De La Danse
Misti
c. 1900
110 x 155 cm
Ferdinand Mifliez, 1865-1922, changed his name from Mifliez to Misti after graduating in 1888. Misti was a passionate man, driven in areas even beyond his art - he was also a talented composer and pianist. See this piece for yourself - so delicate, so old, so collectable.
Yvonne BlancYvonne Blanc
Dameron
1928
80 x 120 cm
Yvonne Blanc and her 'rhythms' were a sought commodity on vinyl back in the day... this particular 'day' being n 1928! You may, or may not, have recollection of Yvonne Blanc these days, but she produced a number of popular and well sought works.
La MagistraleLa Magistrale

c. 1910
117 x 159 cm
This beautiful, highly coloured, technically lovely piece must have been a nightmare to 'make colourful' in 1910. The vibrancy of the colour 100 years on, is a true testament to the unique stone lithographic printing technique. Note the fabulous typography too.

Alfred Choubrac

82 x 120 cm
Alfred Choubrac (1853-1902) was a pioneer of French poster art. In 1884 he was listed with only 9 known active posterists, including the 3 artists whose work made up the first poster exhibition, held that year in the Passage Vivienne in Paris: Alfred and Leon Choubrac and Jules Cheret.

Jules Chéret (1836-1932) was a French painter and lithographer who became a master of Belle Époque poster art. He has been called the 'father of the modern poster', creating the Maîtres de l'Affiche - 'Masters of Posters' group in 1895.

Aaah... who would not want a tailor made suit, courtesy of a very large and obviously very well turned out, polar bear!? The TSF and Evernice tailoring company, after much research, have decided polar bears are best suited (pun intended) to dress the smart French homme!?
L'Echo De ParisL'Echo De Paris
Jules Cheret
1888
87 x 122 cm
L' Echo de Paris (The Echo of Paris) was a French daily newspaper under the Third Republic, published between 1884 and 1944. The paper had a nationalist and patriotic slant and was widely read. Another fabulous, collectable, historically significant poster in Galerie Montmartre!
Gidon-LynnesGidon-Lynnes
Anonymous
1891
82 x 120 cm
This humorous poster seems to be depicting female impersonators, singing duos, dancing acts - 'original and fashionable' - showcasing the morde seedy side of entertainment that Paris embraced at the turn of the 20th century.
Vichy CelestinsVichy Celestins
Come
c. 1980
161 x 120 cm
Vichy Celestins... to take the pure water means 'good digestion' and is 'better to live'! The little green men, off colour and feeling poorly, are reminiscent of fresh grapes - an illustration not lost on overindulgence in grape juice of a fermented variety!
Georges Richard CyclesGeorges Richard Cycles
Fernel
1896
99 x 138 cm
Fernand Fernel (aka F. Cerckel), created a number of posters around the turn of the century, including this and others for Georges Richard Cycles. This poster formed part of the famous 'Maîtres de l'Affiche' Art Collection, published during the Belle Époque in Paris.
Alsacienne DisquesAlsacienne Disques
Herve Morvan
c. 1960
68 x 280 cm
A fab advertisement by Morvan with catchy gimmick for the Alsacienne biscuit company. Buy the 'small, exquisite' biscuits, receive free 'discs' that may contain a special key to a special door!? Big advertisement, big give away - only right it was made to go along the side of a big bus!?
Productions TichadelProductions Tichadel
Okley
c. 1930
115 x 160 cm
Productions Tichadel is a French music hall and cabaret, based in Paris. Okley's works for Productions Tichadel, and there are a number of them, feature mainly female revue-stars in their fantastic costumes and in various stages of undress, but never quite naked! This is scarce!
Fruits DefendusFruits Defendus
Okley
c. 1930

Comedie Caumartin is a small private theatre on Rue Caumartin in Paris, still running today. The theatre is private and programming is subject to change without knowledge! You might THINK you'll be seeing 'Fruits Defendus' one fine evening, but will end up laughing at 'J'aime Beaucoup' instead!
Une Ville PropreUne Ville Propre
Piem
c. 1950
115 x 160 cm
A clean city is everyone's business! Another beautiful poster requesting the French to keep their country and towns clean! This time it's the pristine 'ville' of Boulogne Billancourt, a commune in the western suburbs of Paris.
Mont Saint MichelMont Saint Michel
Michel Robert
c. 1950
152 x 115 cm
The clothing of Mont St Michel... is obviously made of, and for, pretty tough stuff. You wouldn't see 'our' Michelle-the-Galmont-belle, wearing this type of blokey, super hardy, outdoorsy, climb a mountain, paint the building... outfit!? Non, non, non!
Loterie Nationale Tranche SpecialeLoterie Nationale Tranche Speciale
Derouet
1937
98 x 150 cm
A rare Loterie Nationale poster, by Derouet himself (Loterie Nationale posters were typically collaborations) created for the famous gamble in 1937. Not only is this little fellow winning at the track, but he has the winning Loterie ticket too! He should never let go of that horse shoe.
The LiptonThe Lipton

c. 1960
116 x 165 cm
For pleasure, relaxation and comfort you cannot go past this beautiful poster for Lipton tea... The Lipton! Possibly 'the' most beautiful poster for Lipton ever made, this anonymous piece has overtones of Erte swirls and colour. What an attribute to a worthy home?
Blizzand MenBlizzand Men
Rene Gruau
1957
158 x 118 cm
Rene Gruau, the highly collectable fashion illustrator and posterist, created a number of very beautiful designs for the Blizzand company. I'd like to know the statistics on raincoat sales through this time... late 1950s, early 1960s.
Mireille MathieuMireille Mathieu
Bernard Villemot
1986
40 x 60 cm
Mireille Mathieu, born on 22 July 1946, is a French chanson (singer) and variety artist, who has achieved great success in France and internationally. This poster by Villemot captures her profile perfectly and advertises a forthcoming concert for 1986!
DelahayeDelahaye
Fix-Masseau
c. 1988
62 x 102 cm
Pierre Fix-Masseau has certainly captured the elegance and splendour of the Delahaye automobile in this beautiful poster. The 1957 Delahaye 135M looks exactly as you see it here. The company was founded in 1894, by Emile Delahaye, in Tours, France.
Henry Gabet ChampagneHenry Gabet Champagne

c. 1930

Sadly it seems sunny, active posters like this could not keep Henry Gabet selling champagne under his own name. Fortunately, champagne by any name is still champagne, so we say bottoms up to that!
Championnats Du Monde De SkiChampionnats Du Monde De Ski
Constantin
1962
68 x 100 cm
A truly fluent, action shot of a downhill skier on Mont Blanc... Chamonix no less. This beautiful poster is advertising the world ski championships for 1962. I wonder if Constantin was there too? This could be a self portrait?
Port SalutPort Salut
Andre Roland
c. 1950
160 x 120 cm
'It is written... above'... that thou shalt eat Port Salut, and sing its praises too. Certainly partaking of a little of the best in port salut will cause you to sing, dance and possibly pray for more - a cheese for the whole family to enjoy!
Pierval Mineral WaterPierval Mineral Water
Auriac
1967
160 x 120 cm
Pierval ... 'the' water for your baby! A striking, clean and positive message at any time, but Pierval were onto something, suggesting you bottle feed Pierval to a growing baby - the little tike seems quite happy and has that clear, eau de minerale glow!
Contrex BeatnikContrex Beatnik
Bernard Villemot
1971
130 x 170 cm
Don't tell anyone but the figures Bernard Villemot used in this famous series of posters for Contrex mineral water were said to be based on the Beatles - one even looks like Linda McCartney! We've been puzzling over who this is and come to the conclusion it's John Lennon wearing Yoko's glasses!
Louis Vuitton Auckland NZLouis Vuitton Auckland NZ
Razzia
2003
120 x 154 cm
One of the finer, classic and highly sought Razzia posters, produced for the Louis Vuitton Cup in 2003 (Auckland, New Zealand). It's fresh, inspiring and Razzia has hand signed this piece.
Foire De ParisFoire De Paris
Jean Carlu
1955
80 x 116 cm
This gorgeous, very French, poster was designed by the highly sought artist, Jean Carlu, for the Foire de Paris. It almost looks like Paris meets Venice with the gondola image, but the colours are oh-so-French oh-so-chic!
Contrex Set JawContrex Set Jaw
Bernard Villemot
1971
130 x 170 cm
Michelle and I have just been laughing over Stephan's name for this dramatic piece - 'Contrex Set Jaw'... and indeed she has, obviously Villemot thought she was quite determined to get her hands on the next bottle of Contrex sparkling l'eau minérale!?
Oceanic TelevisionOceanic Television
Raymond Savignac
1960
100 x 80 cm
The thinking (bearded) man's television... the Oceanic company were clearly very clever in engaging the services of Raymond Savignac. This piece is immediately a collector's item and let's us know what is on Savignac's mind!?
Gardez La France PropreGardez La France Propre
Raymond Savignac
1982
117 x 160 cm
Gardez la France Propre - 'Keep France Clean'! The national symbol of France, le coq (chicken) is imploring the poor little porc (pig) to keep the country clean. An advertisement to appeal to the better nature of the French people to look after their beautiful country.
Noxen PilsNoxen Pils
Auriac
c. 1950
153 x 114 cm
Brasserie Noxen purchased Brasserie (Bertrand) Mapataud in 1950 and operated for 20 years, before another big buy out by Brasserie Comet (1970)! Noxen produced two types of beer... the standard 'Noxen' and then this more luxurious, fit for a knight in shining armour type, the 'Noxen Pils'!
Royale CigarettesRoyale Cigarettes
Bernard Villemot
c. 1950
116 x 157 cm
As we keep saying, advertising for cigarettes will never be this positive, elegant or beautiful again! Certainly an advertisement with Villemot curves and natural style adds even greater significance. Villemot did not design many cigarette pieces, though a smoker, and this is quite rare.
Jeunesse Au Plein Air - La ChevreJeunesse Au Plein Air - La Chevre
Herve Morvan
1981
57 x 77 cm
Youth and fresh air - fabulous combination! Throw a goat into the mix and you've got yourself a sunny, floral happy afternoon! Herve Morvan promotes the great outdoors for children with a series of posters - 'jeunesse au plein air'.
Jeunesse Au Plein Air - Le ParasolJeunesse Au Plein Air - Le Parasol
Herve Morvan
1976
57 x 77 cm
Hervé Morvan is a highly sought poster artist who held great prominence throughout the 1950s, 60s and 70s. This series of posters promotes the great outdoors & fresh air for children - 'jeuness au plein air'. This one featuring a sunflower umbrella... aaah!
Jeunesse Au Plein Air Les CerisesJeunesse Au Plein Air Les Cerises
Herve Morvan
1979
57 x 77 cm
This little girl has had a little TOO much fresh air methinks... although a little cherry jewellery certainly sets off her rosy cheeks. What is that butterfly thinking? This poster is from Hervé Morvan's series promoting fresh air for children.
Jeunesse Au Plein Air - La SauterelleJeunesse Au Plein Air - La Sauterelle
Herve Morvan
1973
57 x 77 cm
Flying through the fresh air on the wings of a grass hopper... what better way to wile away the hours of your youth!?? Another fabulous poster from Hervé Morvan encouraging children out into the fresh air to experience nature.
Jeunesse Au Plein Air Le SurfJeunesse Au Plein Air Le Surf
Herve Morvan
1978
57 x 77 cm
Encouraging children to get outdoors and experience the fresh air is just the ticket here! What better way to experience it than in the surf... it's NOT an Australian poster, but certainly could be? Herve Morvan has captured the Australian vibe!
Charlie Chaplin Grande RevueCharlie Chaplin Grande Revue
Leo Kouper
c. 1970
59 x 79 cm
A grand revue - you can almost see the little Chaplin prison figure doing the typical Chaplin walk, swinging a leg chain! Born in 1926, Leo Kouper met Hervé Morvan in 1945 - his apprenticeship and style was certainly influenced by Morvan's quirky cartoons, very popular in the 1950s and 60s.

c. 1930

A most gorgeous travel poster enticing you to visit the sea... and what's more the sea has made its choice and you can choose it too!? Who would not visit the coast of Chemin with its 600 beaches! The beautiful aquatic colours in this piece have me dreaming of Chemin right now....
BaBetteBaBette
Lefor/Openo
1959
80 x 38 cm
A superb and colourful piece by the dynamic duo Lefor/Openo for the awfully titled movie 'Babette goes to war'. Sophia Lauren played a spy infiltrating a nazi camp in this mini movie for Babette - concentrated around hijinx with nazi soldiers. Lucky the poster remains a treasure...

Advertising grape juice (not wine) obviously suitable for the smallest grape connoisseur... we can see its very good for the family and a natural drink to drink!
Armagnac RystArmagnac Ryst
Raymond Savignac
1943
25 x 33 cm
An early Savignac piece, more Art Deco in style than his later works, it would appear our straight backed French man wants his bottles filled with Armagnac and not milk! Savignac had studied with the master of art deco, A.M. Cassandre and you can see the Cassandre influence in this work.
Vin - RougeVin - Rouge

c. 1930

A perfect example of the great typography used during this period of advertising (1930s, 40s and even early 50s). This is one in a series of three, which don't necessarily need to go together, but certainly look fabulous when they do... rouge, blanc and rosé! Demand wine in the café!
Vin BlancVin Blanc
Anonymous
c. 1930
48 x 30 cm
Why not try a Vin Blanc (white wine) with a little lemon and strawberry, or cassis to make a Kir - it's delicious!? On those hot Melbourne evenings we could all try one of each? Fabulous typography in this anonymous poster from the 1930s - has sister/brother pieces in vins rouge and rosé.
Vin RoseVin Rose
Anonymous
c. 1930
48 x 30 cm
The paper this beautiful little poster comes on has the appropriate 'discolour' that comes with age... as does its brother and sister posters in 'Vin Rouge' and 'Vin Blanc'. A great example of typography in the 1930s, 'rosé is the wine of gourmands'!
BergasolBergasol
Bernard Villemot
1976
118 x 162 cm
What a great bronzed tan Bergasol suntan lotion provides - in today's culture of being sun smart, products like this (SPF minus 3) are a thing of the past. Nowadays this version of 'Bergasol' would be sold as cooking oil! A high profile, sought after, most collectable Villemot masterpiece.
Matisse Juin 50Matisse Juin 50
Henri Matisse
1950
67 x 102 cm
Matisse has produced a few beautiful advertising posters. This colourful little piece to herald Summer - is a perfect example. Not too big, but not tiny either - who wouldn't want an original Matisse on display?
Christian Dior - JulesChristian Dior - Jules
Rene Gruau
c. 1970
56 x 76 cm
Christian Dior and René Gruau were very good friends. Through Dior, Gruau forged his way into fashion illustration, producing brilliant images for the haute couture fashion house. In this masculine but simple piece, Gruau varies his preferred red, black and white colours, to more 'autumnal' tones.
Mas Du ClosMas Du Clos
Fix-Masseau
1988
64 x 92 cm
Pierre Fix Masseau is quite the master in post-deco design. His posters were prolific through the 1950s and 60s, but this piece, from 1988 certainly captures the post-deco vibe and is brilliant in that he produced it when he was 83 years old.
Prevention 56Prevention 56
C. Broutin
1956
37 x 57 cm
When all is well, all IS well! Stick with the high powered 'Prevention 56' - all the motor vehicle dealers agree... a car 'swallowing' the SIMCA high powered motor fuel is the very best for the whole family! If your car is happy, then you are happy :)
Disques Import ClementineDisques Import Clementine
Yves Vacarisas
1972
61 x 80 cm
Very cool, very groovy, early 1970s advertising for a company that provided imported 'discs' (records)! No doubt the lp's, 78's and 45's were a much sought commodity and the Clementine company made a pretty penny in foreign tunes.
Martini VermouthMartini Vermouth
San Marco
c. 1930
69 x 99 cm
The typography on this striking poster immediately captures attention and if you're me, you suddenly feel the need for a Martini Vermouth - with urgency! San Marco has captured the 'rossi' of this vermouth here, with the Autumn leaves adorning the man made of grapes. Martini anyone?
LuxardoLuxardo
Alessandro Pomi
1938
97 x 138 cm
Alessandro Pomi (1890-1976) was a prolific artist. He dabbled rarely in poster art and as such, this is a rare piece. Luxardo is still found today - the first and most successful product for the Luxardo company was Liquore Maraschino, a traditional liqueur from Dalmatia.
Noyama Shoe PolishNoyama Shoe Polish
J. Hibert
c. 1950
116 x 159 cm
Noyama shoe polish is definitely the stuff for your alligator shoes... because Noyama is simply 'nourishment for leather' (and alligator skin). This friendly alligator is, perhaps unwittingly, advocating a little polish for his hide... after he is gone! Talk about self preservation!?
RaincoatRaincoat
Clement Hurel
1955
113 x 157 cm
Clément Hurel (1927-2008) was a born and bred French poster artist, who primarily specialised in movie posters. This generic advertising poster advocating the waterproof raincoat, could have been used by any store whose name would be inserted in the blank oval the diver is pointing to.
Bally HommeBally Homme
Herve Morvan
1952
36 x 58cm
Who would not want to buy a beautiful pair of Bally brogues after looking at this bright, fresh poster? This little fellow is doing up his shoelace tie with such flair, the actual catch phrase here brings more a 'functionality' to the design - 'Bally, the shoe that equips'!?
Doctors and NursesDoctors and Nurses
Rene Vincent
c. 1920
37 x 50 cm
Children playing doctors and nurses has never quite been portrayed this beautifully. René Vincent, illustrator extraordinaire from the early 1900s worked on poster art for Bugatti, Shell, and Peugeot, among many others until his death in 1936.
Bathing BeautiesBathing Beauties

Rene Gruau was a very clever man and is now a highly collectable artist. His friendship with Christian Dior launched his career as a fashion illustrator and the beautiful designs he produced for the Blizzand, over and rain coat company, showcased his work even further.
Blizzand Blue & RedBlizzand Blue & Red

The fellow in the royal blue has obviously just whispered something hilarious to the woman in the red... making the woman in the yellow a little envious! A beautiful design for the Royal Blizzand company - Rene Gruau, of course!?

A striking green man on a luscious purple background combine to create a stunning poster. It seems incredible that the creator of such a wonderful piece would remain anonymous, however, this was quite often the case early in the careers of budding artists

Lucien Boucher

100 x 64 cm
A very early planisphere from Boucher showing the international routes Air France travelled to in 1939. Lucien Boucher (1889-1971) created an incredible array of posters for Air France beginning in the 1930's and continuing right through the 1950's.

This fellow seems pretty excited about his Saint Yorre mineral water ... so pure, so light, so energising!

Alain Gauthier

160 x 120 cm
Alain Gauthier produces a wonderfully kitsch image for Reina soft drinks. Gauthier's stock is rising in the poster world, his works being compared to greats Raymond Savignac and Herve Morvan.

Anisetta Evangelisti is an aniseed flavoured liqueur. Obviously the next favoured flavour to banana for a monkey is aniseed? Biscaretti was an industrial designer who produced only a handful of posters during the 20s and 30s.
