In the 3rd "ultra" vintage poster sale at Joigny , Burgundy (Collection- Jules Adeline) we have purchased 24 original posters ,
all date from the pre 1900's (all printed in the decade before 1900).
They have been acquired against global competition for the pleasure of offering and exhibiting in our Armadale Gallery.
They are absolutely top pieces.
We see this morning's Financial Review proclaims the' end of bling' We emphasize our aim to buy poster art documents worthy
of museum and collector interest , not just luxury wall decoration.
7 of the group relate especially to Italy , presenting Rowing and Cycling Clubs events( Torino) and tourism in Palermo.
These grand late 19th century Italian posters are over two metres long. Two others advertise Italo-American national ties.
Another 7 advertise, or rather exalt Parisian Cabaret , Theatre and Literary events . From England a baroque Dick Whittington
and India at Earls Court, plus a rare (original) piece for the New Oxford Theatre by the celebrated Aubrey Beardsley.
