𝘓𝘦 𝘗𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘵 𝘋𝘢𝘶𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘰𝘪𝘴, ‘the largest daily newspaper of the French Alps,’ was founded by Pierre Baragnon in 1885; its avowed aim, as Cappiello’s design indicates, was to keep an eye on the world and report back to its readership.

Peak Art Deco cool.

By the 1920s, rising automobile production had created enormous demand for safety glass, and Triplex became a major supplier to the industry. Cassandre faced a clever advertising challenge: how to promote safety glass without depicting the accident it was designed to withstand.

His solution is brilliantly economical. The glass is both seen and seen through, set at an angle between the driver’s powerful hands on the wheel. The steering wheel echoes the “X” of Triplex, visually binding driver, automobile, and brand in one of the defining images of Art Deco design.

One of Jean Carlu’s best and rarest posters.

In 1928 Carlu was commissioned to do a poster for the Régie Française des Tabacs (the French To***co Monopoly) and its top cigar brand named Diplomat. Appropriately enough, Carlu drew a figure in the image of an ambassador.

For reasons which remain unknown, the maquette was refused. At about this same time, Carlu had been doing some work for a British publisher by the name of Crawford; he showed him the rejected maquette and Crawford took it to London, making no change whatsoever in the design, and sold it to the British firm of Larrañaga which was an importer of Havana ci**rs.

One of the rarest of all Cassandre images.

Amsterdam’s annual auto show is sponsored by “De Rijwel & Automobile Industrie” (Bicycle and Car Industry). Typically, as is the case here, the name appears as the acronym “RAI” and dates from the time when the two means of transport were inextricably combined. After 1906, only cars were exhibited at this large-scale and well-known event.

“For Cassandre, this motor show . . . wasn’t a pretext to exalt the automotive machine. It acts as a statement, from where the importance of the theme can be seen at a glance: the stylized profile plays with an accessory and the headlight becomes a monocle” (Cassandre/BN, p. 71).

“This soaring Kauffer design began its artistic journey as a black-and-white woodcut in 1916 and in time found its way to being used for the relaunching of the British Labour Party newspaper, the 𝘋𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘥. It is also one of the most rare Art Deco posters ever created and is the design that transformed Kauffer from an artist struggling to gain recognition into one of the most distinguished graphic designers of the period and the most outstanding poster artist in Great Britain.

There are only three other known copies of this famous poster—a longer, three-sheet copy, housed in London’s 𝘝𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘈𝘭𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘵 𝘔𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘶𝘮 [...]. One of the incomplete, one-sheet copies resides in the collection of the 𝘔𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘶𝘮 𝘰𝘧 𝘔𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘯 𝘈𝘳𝘵 in New York. The two-sheet copy (missing only the larger yellow background area in the middle) is seen here” (The Art Deco Poster, Crouse, p. 103).
