7 SEpt Cine-Photo 1920’s rare printers poster sampler Early camera biplane and seashore
A small yet striking printer’s sample from around 1920, created to showcase the skill of Ancienne Établissements Gillot in four-color gravure, with final printing by C.L. Courtois. Signed by the renowned illustrator E. Vila, the composition captures two elegantly dressed women on a breezy seashore, one holding an early camera. In the distance, a small vintage automobile and a biplane evoke the modern spirit of the early 20th century.
Adding to its charm is a whimsical touch hidden in the title: the number “7” in Sept contains a caricature of a man holding a camera. The fine halftone detail reflects the photogravure process—used before the dominance of offset printing—known for its tonal richness and precision. A rare and delightful piece that merges advertising, technology, and Art Deco-era elegance.
