Its innovative formula, developed by chemist Paul Baudecroux, used a type of cosmetic dye that stained the lips, offering durability far beyond traditional lipsticks.

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.

Swissair – Japan – Uemura Shōkō, 1968, 25 × 38.5 in
Description
Vintage travel poster commissioned by Swissair in 1968 to promote flights to Japan. The design features a geisha in kimono with the word “JAPAN” printed in metallic gold ink, a printing detail often used in Japanese tourism posters of the period to emphasize luxury and refinement. The artwork is derived from Uemura Shōkō’s 1936 painting Jo no Mai, a study of a Noh dance prelude. Uemura worked in the Nihonga tradition, which fused traditional Japanese painting techniques with modern presentation, making his imagery a natural fit for mid-century cultural promotion. This original offset lithograph was printed in Japan, mounted on linen, and remains in excellent “A” condition.
