Vlle Olympiade / Anvers. 1920.
“The official poster for the Antwerp 1920 [Olympic] Games was executed by Walter Van der Ven... A version of the image had previously been chosen by the provisional committee for the cover illustration of its 1914 brochure, thus explaining the poster’s slightly old-fashioned concept. It featured a discus thrower in the foreground, enveloped in a swirl of the flags of the participating nations... with the Belgian flag prominent to the left and the coat of arms of Antwerp displayed top right. A panoramic view of the city, showing the majestic towers of the Gothic cathedral of Our Lady, the Grote Markt and old City Hall, reinforced the message that Antwerp’s proud cultural heritage justified its selection as the venue for the VII Olympiad—a precursor of the many posters in the years to come that would project patriotic imagery and emblems of civic identity” (Olympic Posters, p. 31). This is the larger format, French text version of the poster.

Bendix / Olympiques Grenoble. 1968.
The French distributor for Bendix washers took advantage of the 1968 winter Olympics in Grenoble to promote them as the “official supplier” of the Games. Morvan’s design cleverly links the circular motion of clothes in the washing machine with the Olympic rings, proving that he was a master of the witty product poster.

If it's warm and fit for the skiing competitor, it'll most certainly do for the businessman-in-town: the Swiss clothier wraps this ad up in sport, as the Alps surround and protect the country from the crucible of World War I raging without.

Superbagnères-Luchon. 1929.
“Bagnères-de-Luchon is a year-round resort in the Pyrénées, and the high-altitude Superbagnères is where serious skiers converge. To entice winter throngs, Cappiello gives the public a picture of young skiers having fun on the slopes. Their colorful attire adds to the wholesome interest that the area evokes" (Cappiello/Rennert, p. 292).

Allami Sorsjáték. 1947.
This adorable snowman is egging us on with a big bag of loot—50,000 Hungarian forints, to be exact—which could be ours if we buy a lottery ticket for only 5 forints. The value of the prize money today would be just under $1,700. But we’re tripping up on the word Ujjáépitési, which our Google translator tells us is “finger reconstruction.” Hungarian friends, any insight?

The Northampton Cycle Co. ca. 1900.
"This beautiful poster for Northampton bicycles well illustrates the impact and power of this masterful artist. It is more the sure power of a revving engine than of actual movement; there is so much self-assurance in both content and style that one does not need proof of speed or even mobility. The composition, design, and color are so perfect here that it's one of the few posters of which it may be said that to move one line or change one shade would be unimaginable" (Bicycle Posters, p. 11). This poster includes Sagot’s stamp on the verso, and is the finest specimen of this image we’ve ever seen, with vivid colors.

Size: 28 x 42 in./71.2 x 106.7 cm

Phébus. ca. 1899.
The perennially lovelorn commedia dell'arte clown Pierrot finally turns the tables on Columbina: he's speeding off on Phébus' motorized tricycle, bidding a cheerful adieu to his beau and her bicyclette. By 1899, the "bicycle craze" of the previous decade, with all the overtures toward greater female independence, was morphing into the Automobile Age, and this poster finds the Phébus brand in the midst of this transition. With its hints of Theseus abandoning Ariadne on Naxos (we, as Dionysus, are here to comfort her), this is a magnificent work of bold, tender, and curious emotions.
