Title: Savoie France – Fêtes du centenaire Artist: Auriac Date: 1960 Printer: Société d’Exploitation Etablissements de La Vasselais, Paris Size: 27 x 39 inches
This poster image was used both for celebrating 100 years of Savoie Region and also exists with the title Megeve. You can see its summertime with flowers about but in the background is the famous Mont Blanc which stays white with snow through the whole summer.
The “célèbre clocher à bulbes” (famous onion-shaped bell tower) in the Savoie region of France refers to the distinct bulbous bell towers found in many churches in the region. These towers, also known as “clochers à bulbes”, are a hallmark of Baroque architecture introduced in the 17th and 18th centuries, especially under the influence of the Counter-Reformation.
These onion-shaped domes are particularly common in alpine regions, including Savoie, and are a reminder of the strong religious influence in the area. One of the most famous examples in Savoie is the bell tower of the Saint-Martin Church in Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, though many other towns and villages in Savoie feature similar structures.
Lithographic plate reproducing the poster design Superator by Leopoldo Metlicovitz, issued as part of the well-known Ricordi Portfolio. This series presented a selection of important poster designs printed by the Ricordi publishing house during the height of the Italian poster movement between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The portfolio gathered together small-format reproductions of these works and was distributed internationally in the early twentieth century.
Casa Ricordi of Milan, originally a music publisher closely associated with the Italian opera world, developed a major lithographic printing workshop in the late nineteenth century. Through its printing department the firm produced posters for music, theatre, and commercial clients and became a central force in the development of the Italian poster. The artists working with Ricordi helped define the Italian version of Art Nouveau, often referred to as Stile Liberty.
Leopoldo Metlicovitz (1868–1944) was one of the principal designers associated with Ricordi. His posters and illustrations are recognized for their elegant compositions and refined color work, and he contributed numerous designs for theatre, publishing, and advertising.

Theaterkunst Ausstellung / Zurich — Carl Roesch — 1914
A striking and rare exhibition poster by Carl Roesch for the Theaterkunst Ausstellung (Theatrical Art Exhibition) held at the Museum of Applied Art in Zurich in 1914. The composition features a contemplative harlequin figure drawing back theater curtains, inviting the viewer behind the scenes into the world of costume and stage design. The image is both poetic and theatrical, capturing the spirit of early 20th-century stage arts with a refined and symbolic approach.
Carl Roesch (1884–1979), born in Diessenhofen, Switzerland, was a painter, graphic artist, and art teacher who studied fine and applied arts throughout Switzerland and Germany. After returning to his hometown in 1907, he developed a diverse career that included painting, graphic design, and large-scale decorative work such as murals, stained glass, and mosaics. His later work shows influences of Impressionism and Expressionism, while this early poster demonstrates a more structured and geometric approach, bridging his painterly sensibility with the emerging modernist graphic style of the period.
This design is one of only two known posters created by Roesch for the 1914 Theaterkunst exhibition, making it a particularly rare and important example of Swiss graphic design from the pre-war era. Executed in stone lithography, the poster reflects the highest standards of early 20th-century printing and remains exceptionally well preserved.

Original color lithographic poster created for the exhibition of works by Walasse Ting at Galerie Adrien Maeght, 42 rue du Bac, Paris 7. This is a period printing, relatively scarce in this format, featuring a striking reproduction of Ting’s work with vibrant, luminous colors. Signed in the plate.
Walasse Ting (1929–2010) was a Chinese-born artist whose work bridges Abstract Expressionism, CoBrA, and Pop Art. After early exhibitions in Hong Kong, he settled in Paris where he associated with artists such as Pierre Alechinsky while remaining independent of any formal movement. His work combines elements of traditional Chinese painting with a modern, expressive, and highly gestural style, often focusing on recurring subjects such as women, horses, and flowers. Ting described himself as an autodidact, working freely between Eastern and Western influences, and was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1970.
