Check out a poster I created for the fantastic Explorers series by @adriennekress! I’ve always wanted to create a library poster like this, and it was even more fun to do it featuring the characters I drew for the Explorers books. Thanks so much Adrienne for the wonderful opportunity!

Patriotic League, by Howard Chandler Christy, 1918. 

Pavillion des Tabacs. 1931. P. Bosse.

78 3/8 x 57 ¼ in./199 x 145.4 cm

An electric-pink neon glow surrounds a stylized bust of a smoking African woman in a convergence of modern and traditional aesthetics. The Exposition Coloniale of Paris, held in 1931, attempted to paint France’s colonial empire in a positive light by demonstrating mutually beneficial cultural exchange. The expo attracted between 7 and 9 million visitors from around the world.

Motobécane. ca. 1929. Geo Ham.

46 ¾ x 31 in./118.7 x 78.7 cm

Geo Ham had a need: a need for speed. Known as the “prince of motion,” he is famous today as the illustrator of Monaco Grand Prix posters from 1933 to 1936, as well as motorboat competitions, air meets and aerobatic competitions between the wars. He produced exactly two posters for Motobécane: this one, presumably the earlier of the two: despite the lady’s scarf waving in the breeze, there isn’t quite as much of a kinetic frisson as Ham’s more mature works. The other Ham Motobécane is directly adjacent.

Salmson. ca. 1929. Alexis Kow.

42 ¾ x 62 5/8 in./108.6 x 159 cm

Salmson began as a manufacturer of water-cooled airplane engines. Consequently, the poster boasts that the car has the precision of these airplane motors. Their first automobiles appeared in 1921, and graduated from amusing cyclecars to sports cars, and from there to majestic luxury sedans like this one. In 1925, Salmson won 76 races and set 14 speed records for its class. Russian-born Kow created smart and sleek automobile print advertisements and posters. Here, he makes effective use of strong, flat colors, with the Salmon insignia shining above, as the blurry whir of a plane engine spins in the background.

Ford. 1933. Anonymous.

30 5/8 x 45 ¾ in./77.8 x 116.2 cm

“Ford introduced the V-8 engine in 1932, and this poster for the following year’s model showcases its promotional message ("Ford lets fly this arrow to show the road of progress”) with a striking Art Deco take on classicism. Ford was the first company to cast a V-8 engine block in one piece. It was many years before the company’s competitors learned how to mass-produce a reliable V-8; in the interim, the car and its powerful engine became the preferred choice of performance-minded motorists worldwide" (Crouse/Deco, p. 46).

Le Frou-Frou. 1900. Weiluc.

44 ¾ x 94 in./113.7 x 238.7 cm

One of the greatest, most alluring posters in the world: those sly cat eyes, those sumptuous cushions, that seductive plume of cigarette smoke, and most breathtaking: the white negative space of the petticoats, on which to dream. Le Frou-Frou was a light-hearted, satirical publication that ran from 1900 to the beginning of World War I; its pages contained pictures of can-can dancers, cartoons, humorous anecdotes of Parisian life, and more risqué elements like some of the first advertisements for condoms. This is the rare, large format version: complete with bottom text banner.

Lot 191. Anemici, by Anonymous, 1909.

49 ½ x 64 ½ in./125.7 x 163.8 cm

That scarlet blush of health you see on the lady’s cheeks and gown, and the strength of the dog she carries with her – all to promote iron pills to combat anemia, with a 15-day regimen. Available at all the best pharmacies.

American Crescent Cycles. 1899. Frederick Winthrop Ramsdell.

42 ¾ x 62 7/8 in./108.6 x 159.8 cm

Ramsdell studied at the Art Students League of New York, then left for Paris, where his work was shown at the Paris Salon between 1891 and 1898. This was the sweet spot for the French advertising poster, of course, and especially the work of Eugene Grasset, whose style Ramsdell appropriates in spectacular style.
