Automobiles Charron – Leonetto Cappiello, 1906
An original 1906 French advertising poster by Leonetto Cappiello for Automobiles Charron, printed by Vercasson in Paris. This large-format stone lithograph (51 × 79 in.) is an important early work by Cappiello and one of the rarest automobile-related posters of the period. The design captures the luxury and style of the emerging motor age, showing a driver and elegant passenger in one of Charron’s distinctive early cars.
The poster is linen backed and graded B+ condition. It retains strong original colors. There are some folds and restorations, which are pictured, but in a frame these would not be noticeable. Overall it presents very well, particularly given the rarity and scale of the piece.
