This original Razzia poster was created in 2004 for the Louis Vuitton Classic, the prestigious vintage automobile event held at Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire, England. The Louis Vuitton Classic gathered some of the world’s most exceptional historic cars in one of Britain’s most refined settings—a stately manor owned by the Rothschild family—combining art, elegance, and automotive heritage in true Louis Vuitton style.
Razzia’s design captures the glamour and sophistication of the event, reflecting his signature approach that fuses bold imagery with refined graphic composition. The poster was printed as a serigraph/lithograph in Paris and is hand-signed by the artist. It comes directly from Razzia himself.
Unlike generic reprints, this is a guaranteed authentic hand-signed original, and a Certificate of Authenticity can be provided upon request.

Leçons de Violin – Les Maîtres de l’Affiche – Paul Berthon
Original plate Leçons de Violin by Paul Berthon, published as part of the Les Maîtres de l’Affiche series.

The plate was printed by Chaix, the foremost Parisian printer of posters at the time, whose work defined the visual culture of the 1890s.

A brilliant and iconic stone lithograph by Jules Chéret, issued as Plate 145 in Les Maîtres de l’Affiche, the renowned monthly series published at Imprimerie Chaix, Paris, between 1895 and 1900. Subscribers received four plates each month over five years, featuring reduced-format reproductions of the finest poster designs of the Belle Époque.
Chéret’s Saxoléine is among his most celebrated compositions. Created to advertise a brand of oil used for household lighting, the design captures Chéret’s revolutionary approach to poster art — he was the first artist to popularize the use of graceful, animated women to promote commercial products, transforming advertising into an art form. The vivacious figure, bathed in golden light, embodies the optimism and elegance of fin-de-siècle Paris.

HELIOPOLIS CRÈME – SKIN CREAM – Art Nouveau Skin Cream – 1890’s
This charming chromolithograph from 1890 advertises Heliopolis Crème, a skin cream of the Belle Époque era. Two elegant ladies in flowing gowns are pictured outdoors, accompanied by a playful Cupid, symbolizing beauty, youth, and romance. The scene captures the aesthetic of late 19th-century advertising, where allegory and fashion were blended to elevate everyday products into aspirational luxuries.
The design is distinctly Art Nouveau, with graceful lines, movement in the figures’ dresses, and a soft palette typical of Parisian poster art of the time. Printed by Imprimerie Sirven in Paris, a well-known printer of fine posters and ephemera, it represents the rise of decorative advertising art at the end of the century. This piece remains in excellent condition, mounted on linen for preservation.
