Original "The Mikado or, The Town of Titipu" vintage lithographic theater poster
Located in Spokane, WA
Original THE MIKADO, or the Town of Titipu vintage poster. Size: 20" x 30"; original early theater poster. Acid-free, archival linen backed; ready to frame. Excellent condition. The poster features a stylized illustration of a woman in traditional Japanese attire, with a serene expression and flowers in her hair. Original, linen-backed lithograph of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado or, The Town of Titipu. Museum linen backed and in great condition. Lithograph in colors, printed by Stafford & Co. Ltd., Netherfield, Nottingham and London, England. Gilbert and Sullivan refer to the Victorian-era theatrical partnership of the librettist W. S. Gilbert (1836–1911) and the composer Arthur Sullivan (1842–1900). Gilbert, who wrote the words, created fanciful 'topsy-turvy' worlds for these operas where each absurdity is taken to its logical conclusion. Sullivan created the music for these operas. "The Mikado" is a comic opera by Gilbert and Sullivan, first performed in 1885. Set in Japan, it satirizes British politics and society through its whimsical characters and humorous plot. The vintage poster you mentioned typically features vibrant colors and stylized artwork, often depicting a character from the opera, such as Yum-Yum, known for her beauty and charm. "The Mikado" is one of the most frequently performed works in the Gilbert and Sullivan repertoire and has been adapted into numerous productions worldwide. This is an Original Vintage Theater Poster...

Original Produits Lavocat vintage poster for Force and Energy
Located in Spokane, WA
Original vintage poster: Lavocat aliments irradies. Force, Energie par les produits. This is a classic French late Art Deco period poster featuring a buff rugby player almost outpacing a steed - due no doubt to Lavocat, an 'irradiated' food. Even today, the American FDA believes that irradiating food can burn off harmful bacteria, airborne germs, and other microbes which can adversely affect food. We love this poster's depth of color, texture, and oomph - powerful and very, very Art Deco. This poster is an original Art Deco lithograph. This poster is related more to sports and running than food, but food provides energy. Note that the red is cherry red since different monitors produce the red color of this poster in different qualities. Excellent condition, undated on the poster. Behind the rugby runner is a black horse that appears to be neck and neck...

Origiinal France du Pacifique, New Caledonia vintage French travel poster
Located in Spokane, WA
Original "France du Pacifique, Nouvelle-Calédonie" vintage poster by Cras Monique (c. 1960s). L'île de Lumière (The Island of Light). Archival linen-backed in very good condition (see images), ready to frame. Printer: Sicard – Paris. The poster combines Art Deco and modernist influences, highlighting a romanticized view of travel and exotic destinations. Embodies the spirit and traditions of New Caledonia. He is shown in bold, stylized colors typical of mid-century travel art. The man’s skin is a rich, warm brown, and his dark, curly hair is topped with a simple headband or traditional accessory that hints at local customs. His clothing is minimal, reflecting both the tropical climate and authentic ceremonial attire—perhaps a patterned sash or wrap around his waist. He lifts a large conch shell to his lips, caught in the act of blowing into it. The shell itself is an impressive, natural object, likely a Triton’s trumpet...

Circa 1960 original travel poster by David Klein for Trans World Airlines TWA
Located in PARIS, FR
Step into a vivid dream of Iberian flair with this striking circa 1960 original travel poster by David Klein, created for Trans World Airlines (TWA). Designed at the height of the Jet Age, this artwork invites viewers to fly across the Atlantic and immerse themselves in the timeless traditions and spectacle of Spain. Rendered in Klein’s unmistakable style—bold, graphic, and saturated with color—the poster is anchored by the imposing figure of a matador, resplendent in an elaborately embroidered traje de luces (suit of lights). His stoic expression, the gleaming detail of his costume, and the dramatic composition place the viewer right on the threshold of the bullring. In the background, another matador stands poised beneath the arches of a sunlit plaza de toros, while a stylized jetliner leaves a clean, modern contrail in the crimson sky above—signaling the future soaring above the heritage of the past. With its juxtaposition of tradition and modernity, this poster captures both the romance of Old Spain and the excitement of international travel in the mid-20th century. The golden Gothic script of “Spain” contrasts with the jet-age boldness of the “Fly TWA” lettering, creating a visual rhythm that reflects the era’s enthusiasm for cultural discovery through air travel. David Klein’s TWA...

Gerlach s Allegorien Plate #47: "Morning in the Spring" Lithograph
Located in Palm Beach, FL
Koloman Moser (1868 –1918), AUSTRIAN Instead of applying his flair and art education solely to painting, Koloman Moser embodied the idea of Gesamt Kunstwerk (all-embracing art work) by designing architecture, furniture, jewelry, graphics, and tapestries meant to coordinate every detail of an environment. His work transcended the imitative decorative arts of earlier eras and helped to define Modernism for generations to come. Moser achieved a remarkable balance between intellectual structure (often geometric) and hedonistic luxury. Collaborating with Gustav Klimt and Josef Hoffmann, the artist was an editor and active contributor to Ver Sacrum, (Sacred Spring), the journal of the Viennese Secession that was so prized for its aesthetics and high quality production that it was considered a work of art. The magazine featured drawings and designs in the Jugendstil style (Youth) along with literary contributions from distinguished writers from across Europe. It quickly disseminated both the spirit and the style of the Secession. In 1903 Moser and Hoffmann founded and led the Wiener Werkstatte (Viennese Workshop) a collective of artisans that produced elegant decorative arts items, not as industrial prototypes but for the purpose of sale to the public. The plan, as idealistic then as now, was to elevate the lives of consumers by means of beautiful and useful interior surroundings. Moser’s influence has endured throughout the century. His design sensibility is evident from the mid-century modern furniture of the 1950s and ‘60s to the psychedelic rock posters...

Original Rome Fly TWA Jets vintage American travel poster
Located in Spokane, WA
Original Rome Fly TWA Jets vintage travel poster. Conservation linen backed in excellent condition, ready to frame. This is the earlier edition of the image Before ‘up up and away’! TWA (Trans World Airlines) was formed in 1924 as Transcontinental & Western Air. The airline's first route was from New York to Los Angeles, followed by multiple National routes. The airline expanded to serve Europe, the Middle East, and Asia after WWII when the company was under Howard Hughes's owner's control from 1939 until 1961. Hughes was a dominant force in expanding and promoting his company's routes. The economy was vastly improving, and travel by air for business and pleasure increased, too. Posters were a crucial element in promoting this form of travel and TWA. The airline started a decline in the 1970s, ending in a third bankruptcy that caused its acquisition by American Airlines in 2001. The airline operated in 132 destinations worldwide and had a fleet size of 190. This Rome poster was created by the gifted American artist David Klein (1918 -2005), and depicts a member of the Pontifical Swiss Guard in the center wearing the iconic yellow, blue, and red uniform. The Guard is playing a drum that has the pontifical emblem. In the background, we see a representation of the ancient Roman Coliseum and the Baroque...

Circa 1950 original poster by French anti-communist organization Paix et Liberté
Located in PARIS, FR
This bold and striking original poster, titled “Articles d’importation…”, was produced around 1950 by the French anti-communist organization Paix et Liberté. It stands as a dramatic artifact of Cold War propaganda, emblematic of the ideological battle waged in post-war Europe between democratic capitalism and Soviet-backed communism. The image features a brown briefcase emblazoned with the Soviet hammer and sickle, ominously opened to reveal a pistol and a set of colorful files labeled with the threats allegedly “imported” by communism: Troubles (Unrest) Sabotages Trahisons (Betrayals) Grèves politiques (Political Strikes) Agressions Rendered in bold color contrasts and menacing tones, the poster sends a clear message: communism, according to its creators, brings only violence, subversion, and political destabilization. The visual language is unmistakably designed to provoke anxiety, portraying the ideology not as a political alternative, but as a foreign-born virus—imported to corrupt national unity and peace. The poster was issued by Paix et Liberté, a French anti-communist propaganda group founded in 1950 by Jean-Paul David with backing from U.S. intelligence and support from various centrist and conservative factions in France. The organization was created at a time when the French Communist Party (PCF) enjoyed considerable popularity, particularly among workers and intellectuals, and when the Soviet Union’s influence loomed heavily over Europe. This work is a powerful example of Cold War visual rhetoric, using graphic design as a weapon in the psychological war against ideological opponents. The hammer and sickle becomes not just a symbol of another worldview, but a mark of treachery—its presence inside a briefcase evoking clandestine operations, infiltration, and national betrayal. Artistically, the poster is clean and direct, designed for mass appeal and clarity, much like other propaganda tools of the era. The use of heavy shadows, fiery red text, and the looming black background all contribute to a sense of covert danger and unease. Today, “Articles d’importation…” serves not only as a historical artifact from the peak of Cold War paranoia but also as a critical piece of political graphic art, reminding us how imagery and language can be mobilized to shape public sentiment, sow division, and influence the tides of democracy. Political - Cold war poster...
