About the Item

Ancient meets modern on this famous "Italia" travel poster designed by A.M. Cassandre (1901-1968). Issued by the Italian tourist board and the Italian railway system, the piece features the columns of a Roman ruin overlayed by the Virgin Mary cradling Christ, with "Italia" printed just below in the tri-colors of the national flag adopted in the the late 18th century. Cassandre's most famous work is the poster for the maiden voyage of the ocean liner Normandie, and he also completed a series of major posters for the French railway system including the often reproduced Etoile du Nord. In later years, Cassandre designed several covers for Harper's Bazaar, the logo for Yves Saint Laurent, and became a stage, set and theatrical designer. Railway - Art Deco - Religion Coen C. Milano

Circa 1920 original poster by French illustrator Marcel Levèque for Sacha Guitry
Located in PARIS, FR
This circa 1920 original poster by French illustrator Marcel Levèque offers a razor-sharp, delightfully exaggerated caricature of the iconic Sacha Guitry—the celebrated playwright, actor, and filmmaker known for his wit, theatrical flair, and unmistakable profile. Set against a vivid crimson red background, Levèque’s minimalist yet expressive drawing captures Guitry in stark profile: the elongated nose, keen eyes, and ever-composed demeanor rendered with economical lines and a satirical touch. The signature of Sacha Guitry, scrawled in the upper corner, adds an air of celebrity endorsement, giving this poster the feel of both homage and humorous jab. Guitry, a towering figure of Belle Époque and interwar French culture, was renowned for his prolific output on stage and screen. Levèque’s caricature distills his persona into a bold visual shorthand—dapper in a tuxedo, bemused in expression, and steeped in charm. Marcel Levèque was a master of the French caricature tradition, following in the footsteps of Sem and Caran d'Ache, turning public figures into recognizable icons of satire. This poster likely accompanied a theatrical performance or exhibition, and it stands today as a vivid artifact of celebrity culture, visual humor, and early 20th-century poster art. Perfect for collectors of vintage caricature...
