    VENISE — OPERETTE EN 3 ACTES — CHARLES GIR — c.1927

    Original French poster advertising the operetta Venise, performed at the Theatre Marigny in Paris. The operetta was written in three acts with music by Tiarko Richepin, libretto by Andre Mouezy Eon, and lyrics by Albert Willemetz. The design by Charles Gir presents an elegant Art Deco theatrical composition promoting the production.

    Charles Gir (Charles Felix Girard, 1883–1941) was an illustrator, poster artist, painter, and caricaturist active in Paris during the early twentieth century. Closely associated with the theatrical and cultural life of the city, he produced posters for stage productions and illustrated literary works, while also contributing cartoons and caricatures to satirical publications such as La Baionnette and Le Rire. Gir was also known as a violinist and maintained a strong interest in opera and theater, which is reflected in many of his poster designs.

    Veneux-les-Sablons – Environs de Fontainebleau – L. Prieur – 1930

    Original 1930 French travel poster by L. Prieur promoting Veneux-les-Sablons, near Fontainebleau, as a delightful recreational escape from Paris.

    Prieur presents an idyllic summer scene along the river, with swimmers and divers enjoying the water, rowers in small boats, and visitors relaxing beneath the trees. Across the river, a bridge and the village provide a picturesque backdrop. The brilliant greens, blues and yellows and simplified forms give the composition the fresh, modern character of French travel advertising of the interwar period.

    Veneux-les-Sablons lies at the southern edge of the Forest of Fontainebleau, near the confluence of the Seine and Loing. Easily accessible from Paris by train, the area attracted weekend visitors for swimming, boating, walking and excursions through the surrounding countryside and forest.

    The poster is a wonderful evocation of the increasingly popular idea of escaping Paris for a day in the country, combining outdoor leisure with the bold color and elegant graphic design of the period.

    Cesare Simonetti designed the Spoleto / Umbria poster in 1927 for the Italian State Railways’ tourism campaign. This lithographic poster, measuring approximately 39¼ x 27¾ inches, captures Spoleto’s charm with a design reflecting the artistic trends of the time.

    Spoleto, a historic town in Umbria, features medieval streets, the Romanesque Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, and an ancient Roman theater. Often called the “green heart of Italy,” Umbria is known for its rolling landscapes, rich history, and cultural heritage.

    During the 1920s, the Italian State Railways promoted domestic travel through striking posters. These advertisements encouraged Italians and international visitors to explore the country’s scenic and historic sites by train.

    Cesare Simonetti, born in 1862, was well-known for his commercial art, particularly travel posters. His work appeared in various auctions, demonstrating his lasting influence on early 20th-century Italian design. The Spoleto poster remains a remarkable piece, blending art and travel promotion to highlight Umbria’s timeless appeal.
