    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.

    Venezia italian enit poster with Gondola c1950’s

    $ 1,100

    Venezia was issued by the Italian State Tourist Office (ENIT) circa 1950 and printed by Pizzi & Pizio, Milano–Roma. The composition uses the distinctive silhouette of a gondola’s prow (ferro) as a frame for a view of St. Mark’s Clock Tower (Torre dell’Orologio), with its bell and the bronze figures known as the “Moors.”

    The poster was produced in offset lithography and reflects the mid-century ENIT approach of combining strong graphic shapes with a single, recognizable landmark to promote Italian destinations.
