Rare poster perhaps the first to show the newly formed Israel state printed actually in 1947 with artwork by Olle Svenson. The poster was made for the Italian public for travel to the near orient which includes 4 flages Swedish, Turkish, Italian and Israel. I am surprised to find the printed date of the poster as 1947 as Israel was formed in 1948 ? This is the earliest travel poster I know of to Israel. RARE !!

Actually not a publicity for a Bal masque as this art nouveau beauty is putting up a poster for, but a publicity for Caby et Chardon capabilities as Stone lithographers in the 1890’s. Color lithography was relatively new which Jules Cheret had a great hand in, and the delicacy of the work on the stone is evident here in the shading techniques. Truly a wonderful piece of stone lithography. This is the only known copy I have ever seen in 30 years of collecting. Excellent on linen

Nice Cote D’Azur by Henri Matisse 1965 Danseuse Creole
This vintage poster titled La Danseuse Créole appeared in 1965 to promote the Musée Matisse in Nice. It features an image based on a 1950 cut-out by Henri Matisse. The original artwork, made from gouache-painted paper, was inspired by American dancer Katherine Dunham. Matisse saw her perform in his studio and later created the piece. In 1953, he donated the work to the city of Nice. When the museum opened in 1963, it became part of the permanent collection. Atelier Mourlot in Paris printed the poster as a color lithograph. The Syndicat d’Initiative de Nice issued it with support from the French tourism office. This edition includes Matisse’s printed signature and was produced in limited quantity. The image reflects his late paper cut-out style, with flat shapes and strong color contrast.
