FIRST LADIES OF THE POSTER The Gold Collection presents women stepping out of the traditional roles and exercising their new-found liberation. It is the time of the Industrial Revolution, and we find the women, newly released from the home (via the bicycle) anxious to simulate the images shown in the posters. It was the beginning of the age of consumerism...and right alongside that, the explosion of advertising. All the top artists of the 'belle epoque' are featured. This is the time when posters were all the rage and this book is awash with splendid images and vibrant colors. It is a window into a bygone era where a world of possibilities was just beginning to reveal itself to the women who craved an expanded role in society. Available through the Poster Art Library or contact us via our e-mail or phone. |

Title: PLM/L’Ete sur la Cote d’Azur – Autocars One of the greatest of all the travel posters.

August Roubille (1872-1933) Spratt’s was a major British pet food producer. Here, the French branch advertises with a poster stressing dog food.

Title: Cycle Michael Lautrec’s improper drawing of the chain for the Simpson bicycle resulted in this design being rejected. The artist then ran off 200 copies, in one color, at his own cost.
