THE BEATLES (BANNER) – RICHARD AVEDON – 1967 – Original 1967 Printing
Original black-and-white Beatles banner poster created by Richard Avedon in 1967 during the height of the Sgt. Pepper era. Commissioned by The Beatles’ company NEMS, Avedon photographed John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr individually in London against a stark white backdrop, producing what would become one of the most iconic visual statements of the 1960s.
The full Avedon series included four colorized psychedelic portraits and this striking black-and-white composite banner. The images were published internationally in early 1968 through The Daily Express (UK), LOOK Magazine (USA), and Stern (Germany). This example is from the original European Stern printing, produced by PPP Printers.
Although thousands were printed at the peak of Beatlemania, relatively few survive in strong condition. Most were displayed with tape and later discarded. Authentic 1967 printings such as this are the only versions considered original first editions and have become important cultural artifacts, frequently featured in Pop Art, 1960s, and Rock & Roll exhibitions.

Original vintage exhibition poster created for Andy Warhol: Ten Marilyns at the Museum van Hedendaagse Kunst in Ghent, Belgium, in 1990. This poster was printed using imagery from Warhol’s famous Ten Marilyns silkscreen portfolio, one of his most recognized series dedicated to Marilyn Monroe.
Warhol began creating portraits of Monroe in the early 1960s, following her death in 1962, transforming her into one of the central icons of his Pop Art career. The Ten Marilyns portfolio condensed his fascination with celebrity, glamour, and repetition, themes that defined much of his work.
This poster, printed in offset lithography, faithfully reproduces the visual impact of the original silkscreens while serving as a piece of cultural history tied to Warhol’s international exhibitions. It remains highly collectible as an authentic 1990 printing, mounted on linen for preservation, in excellent condition.

Comments:
Original vintage French travel poster by Léon Lellée for the PLM railway, c. 1930. The subject is the Roman Théâtre Antique in Arles, with its remaining Corinthian columns. The theatre was built in the 1st century BCE and is one of the oldest stone theatres in Roman Gaul. It continues to serve as a site for performances and cultural events.
Lellée (1882–1947) was a French painter and illustrator known for his regional subjects of Provence, where he lived and worked. He produced a number of posters for the PLM (Paris–Lyon–Méditerranée) railway company during the interwar period, promoting travel to the south of France. This lithograph highlights the enduring Roman heritage of Arles as a destination.
Comments The theater was built during the reign of Emperor Augustus, between 27 BC and AD 14O. One of the best-preserved Roman theaters in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this monumental theater is famous for its acoustics and its massive scenic wall. It hosts the Chorégies d’Orange, an opera and classical music festival, each summer.
This poster was created for the PLM or Paris Lyon Mediterrannee French Railways for display in travel bureaus and train stations in the 1930 period. The poster is in absolute impeccable condition on linen
Original vintage travel poster promoting Basel, designed by Swiss artist and graphic designer Markus Schneider. This lively bird’s-eye view of the city presents Basel along the Rhine in a map-like panorama, with the river, bridges, old town, and key monuments rendered in bright, mid-century color blocks. The style is typical of Schneider’s 1960s work—clear, graphic, and highly legible from a distance—made to advertise Basel as a cultural and architectural destination. Printed in Basel by Frobenius AG. The poster is in excellent original condition, not linen-backed, with strong, fresh colors and a very clean overall appearance.

Original c.1900 French railway poster for Beausoleil, a resort on the Côte d’Azur, issued by the Paris–Lyon–Méditerranée (PLM) railway company while it was still formally known as the Chemins de Fer de Paris à Lyon et à la Méditerranée. The design, by an anonymous artist, promotes Beausoleil as a premier Mediterranean destination at the turn of the century.
The poster was produced using chromolithography, a demanding color printing process employed by only a handful of French ateliers around 1900. This technique allowed for richly layered tones and subtle gradients, giving the image a depth not achievable through simpler lithographic methods of the period.
Highly sought after as both a travel and railway collectible, this example is professionally backed on linen and survives in excellent “A” condition, retaining strong color and sharp detail.
