1971 Grand Prix Automobile of Monaco by Carpenter on linen
The 1971 Monaco Grand Prix took place on May 23 as the second round of the Formula One World Championship. Jackie Stewart delivered a dominant performance in his Tyrrell-Ford. He secured pole position, set the fastest lap, and led the race from start to finish. Ronnie Peterson came in second, while Jacky Ickx finished third. The race unfolded on the iconic Monte Carlo street circuit, a track known for its tight corners and unforgiving layout.
The official event poster reflected the bold, modernist design style of the early 1970s. It featured a stylized Formula One car set against the famous Monaco harbor backdrop. As a result, the poster became a favorite among collectors of motorsport and design.
Steve Carpenter, an American artist, created the 1971 Monaco Grand Prix poster. He studied in Chicago and Los Angeles before working as an illustrator for Walt Disney. Later, he moved to Monte Carlo in the late 1960s. There, he taught at the École des Beaux-Arts and operated his own studio. Additionally, the Principality of Monaco commissioned him to design tourism posters, the 1971 Grand Prix poster, and postage stamps honoring Prince Rainier III. Notably, his clients included Princess Grace and Prince Rainier.

Original stone-lithograph plate printed circa 1896 at Imprimerie Chaix (Paris) for Les Affiches Étrangères. This plate features Privat Livemont’s celebrated design for Absinthe Robette, a Belgian advertising poster that has become one of the most iconic images of Art Nouveau.
The image depicts a graceful young woman in flowing robes, holding aloft a glass of absinthe that catches the light, while stylized tendrils and ornamental patterns surround her. Livemont, often referred to as the “Belgian Mucha,” was renowned for his elegant depictions of women framed within decorative motifs. Absinthe Robette exemplifies his refined style and perfectly conveys the Belle Époque fascination with elegance, beauty, and the mystique of absinthe.
Les Affiches Étrangères (1896–1899) was a companion series to Les Affiches Illustrées, dedicated to showcasing important poster designs by international artists. Published under the direction of Jules Chéret at the Chaix atelier, these plates were printed in reduced format but retained the full stone-lithographic technique of the originals, making them prized collector’s items.

Artist: Privat Livemont (1861–1936)
Date: c.1896 (after the original 1896 poster)

Original Italian advertising poster promoting Amaro Valsesia, a traditional bitter digestivo produced in the Valsesia region of northern Italy. The design features a young woman in regional dress presenting a bottle of the liqueur, set before the distillery buildings of Agostino Brugo & C. Snow-covered Alpine peaks rise in the background, referencing the mountainous landscape where many of the herbs used in the production of the amaro were sourced.
Amaro, a category of Italian herbal liqueur traditionally enjoyed after meals, was widely advertised during the early twentieth century as both a digestive and a tonic. Posters such as this combined regional imagery with appealing figures to associate the product with the natural environment and traditions of northern Italy.
Printed in Italy by Gros. Monti & Cie., this large-format lithograph reflects the strong graphic style typical of Italian commercial posters of the interwar period.
