    A-B Aerotransport — Swedish Air Lines — Anders Beckman — circa 1930

    A stunning original Swedish aviation poster by Anders Beckman for A-B Aerotransport (ABA), depicting an aircraft in flight on a bright, clear day above the ABA insignia. The composition combines photomontage with bold typographic elements, creating a strong sense of movement and modernity. The integration of clouds and lettering reflects the influence of leading European graphic designers of the period, resulting in a refined and visually striking image.

    A-B Aerotransport was a Swedish government-owned airline operating during the first half of the 20th century and later became part of the group that formed Scandinavian Airlines (SAS). This poster dates from the early years of the airline, a period that marked the rapid development of commercial aviation in Europe. ABA was among the pioneers of modern air travel in Scandinavia, helping to establish reliable routes and expand the possibilities of longer-distance flight.

    Printed by Ivor Haeggstroms Lito, Stockholm, this poster is an excellent example of early Scandinavian modernist graphic design, combining photomontage and typography in a forward-looking style. Examples are rarely encountered, particularly in such well-preserved condition, and it stands as both a decorative and historically significant piece from the formative years of European aviation.

  • AUX FABRIQUES DE GENEVE — HEM — 1903 - French Art Nouveau Jewelry poster

    AUX FABRIQUES DE GENEVE — HEM — 1903 – French Art Nouveau Jewelry poster

    $ 1,450

    AUX FABRIQUES DE GENEVE — HEM — 1903

    Original French Art Nouveau advertising poster for Aux Fabriques de Geneve, a jeweler and watch merchant based in La Rochelle. The design features a young woman presented in refined detail above a display of watches, jewelry, and decorative objects. A large ring or cameo-like medallion frames the scene, reinforcing the store’s emphasis on engagement and bridal gifts. The text indicates that the firm manufactured its own goods and offered a catalog available to clients upon request.

    Although the name refers to Geneva, the shop itself operated in La Rochelle. The reference to Geneva likely served to evoke the reputation of Swiss craftsmanship in watchmaking and fine jewelry, suggesting products of comparable quality.

    The artist Hem was active in France during the early twentieth century and produced a small number of advertising posters during the height of the Belle Époque poster movement. His work reflects the decorative elegance typical of the Art Nouveau period.

    BONAL GENTIANE QUINA — A.M. CASSANDRE — c.1933_ Rarer Pink Version

    Original French advertising poster for Bonal Gentiane Quina designed by A.M. Cassandre. This example is the rarer pink background version of the design. The composition features a stylized figure drinking Bonal, with the liquid transforming into pink stars within the body. A key appears over the stomach, visually suggesting the idea promoted by the product: Bonal “opens the appetite.” The bold geometry and simplified forms are characteristic of Cassandre’s modernist approach to poster design.

    Adolphe Mouron Cassandre (1901–1968) was one of the most important commercial artists of the twentieth century. A poster designer, painter, lithographer, and creator of typefaces, he combined influences from avant-garde movements such as Cubism, Surrealism, and Neue Sachlichkeit with the demands of commercial advertising. His work helped define the modern graphic language of the interwar period.

  • CHANTIER HOUILLER — JEAN D’YLEN — 1924 - Vercasson Paris - Charcoal

    CHANTIER HOUILLER — JEAN D’YLEN — 1924 – Vercasson Paris – Charcoal

    $ 2,400

    CHANTIER HOUILLER — JEAN D’YLEN — 1924

    Original French advertising poster for Chantier Houiller designed by Jean D’Ylen and printed in Paris by Vercasson in 1924. The composition features a brightly dressed jester riding a coal cart, rendered in vivid colors against a dark background. Dressed in yellow with arms spread wide, the figure humorously recalls the canary traditionally used in coal mines to warn miners of dangerous gases. The playful imagery and strong contrast of colors are characteristic of the lively advertising style of the period.

    Jean Paul Beguin (1886–1938), known professionally as Jean D’Ylen, was one of the leading French advertising artists of the early twentieth century. His posters are known for their striking use of primary colors, bold figures, and theatrical compositions. The influence of Leonetto Cappiello is evident in the dramatic dark backgrounds and animated figures that appear to float within the design. D’Ylen began his career as a jewelry designer before becoming an advertising illustrator for the Paris publishing house Vercasson. After Cappiello left the firm in 1916, D’Ylen became one of its principal poster artists, producing many memorable designs of the 1920s.

  • Citizen Kane Orson Welles (Quarto Potere) — 1960 - Italian re-release

    Citizen Kane Orson Welles (Quarto Potere) — 1960 – Italian re-release

    $ 2,000

    Quarto Potere (Citizen Kane) — Anonymous — 1958 – Orson Welles

    Original Italian 4-foglio poster for Quarto Potere, the Italian release title of Citizen Kane, directed by and starring Orson Welles, with Joseph Cotten, Dorothy Comingore, and Agnes Moorehead. Issued by Titanus for the Italian distribution of the film.

    Citizen Kane (1941) is widely regarded as one of the most important films ever made, celebrated for its groundbreaking narrative structure, deep-focus cinematography, and enduring influence on modern filmmaking. The Italian title Quarto Potere (“The Fourth Power”) reflects the film’s central theme—the power and influence of the press.

    This striking Italian design presents a bold, painterly interpretation of Charles Foster Kane in a political setting, reinforcing the film’s exploration of ambition, authority, and public image. Italian posters from this period are particularly admired for their distinctive artistic approach, often differing significantly from American designs.

    Printed in the large and imposing 4-foglio format, this poster was produced in limited quantities for theatrical display and was not intended to survive. As a result, examples of this size are scarce today.

    This 1958 Titanus issue is very rare, especially in such well-preserved condition, and is seldom encountered on the market.

    Ravello is a historic village perched above Italy’s Amalfi Coast, dating back to the 12th century. One of its famous landmarks is Villa Rufolo, built by a wealthy merchant family in the 1200s. The villa’s medieval architecture blends Greek, Arab, and Moorish influences due to Ravello’s location along Mediterranean trade routes. Villa Rufolo was first mentioned in 1353 in Boccaccio’s Decameron.

    Ravello became a popular retreat for artists, musicians, and writers in the late 1800s during the Grand Tour era. Famous visitors included Robert Wagner, who composed part of his Parsifal opera here, as well as Virginia Woolf, D.H. Lawrence, Winston Churchill, and Greta Garbo. Today, Ravello still attracts celebrities seeking privacy on the Amalfi Coast.

    The Italian National Tourist Board (ENIT), established in 1919, created posters like this one to promote travel within Italy. This particular poster, featuring Villa Rufolo, was designed by Publio Morbiducci (1889-1963), a noted artist known for his sculptures and designs for Italian currency and the 1936 Olympics.
