Circa 1920 original poster the Polovinkin troupe - Cossack acrobats and dancers
Located in PARIS, FR
This rare circa 1920 original poster promotes the Polovinkin troupe, a renowned ensemble of Cossack acrobats and dancers, known for their electrifying stage performances that combined martial precision with folk-inspired choreography.
The poster captures the energy and coordination of these Caucasian performers, whose spectacular shows enthralled audiences across Europe during the interwar period. These performances often celebrated military tradition, athleticism, and cultural heritage, featuring intricate footwork, swordplay, and high-speed acrobatics rooted in Cossack customs.
Part of the golden era of circus and variety performance, this lithograph is a stunning example of early 20th-century poster art, likely intended for use on street walls or theater façades to advertise upcoming shows. Its bold colors, stylized composition, and strong typography evoke the visual language of the time, where posters were both promotional and artistic expressions.

Milton Glaser
s Great Illustrators of Our Time exhibition at Rizzoli Galleries
By Milton Glaser
Located in PARIS, FR
Few names resonate in the world of graphic design as powerfully as Milton Glaser, and this 1982 poster is a quintessential example of his ability to merge elegance with immediacy. Created to promote the Great Illustrators of Our Time exhibition at Rizzoli Galleries, the poster is both an homage and a showcase—highlighting not just the work of Glaser himself but the broader cultural importance of illustration in 20th-century art and publishing.
The composition is unmistakably Glaser: bold yet balanced, playful but deliberate. His signature use of vibrant color palettes, whimsical linework, and symbolic imagery elevates the poster beyond mere promotion—it becomes a collectible in its own right.
At a glance, the poster celebrates visual storytelling. It encapsulates the spirit of an era when illustrators were not just supporting the text, but redefining it—shaping magazine covers, books, advertisements, and cultural identity itself. Glaser, best known for his “I ❤ NY” logo and the iconic 1967 Bob Dylan poster...

1917 original poster by Albert Besnard - 3e emprunt de la défense nationale
By Albert Besnard
Located in PARIS, FR
This 1917 original wartime propaganda poster, designed by Albert Besnard, was created to promote the Third National Defense Loan (3e Emprunt de la Défense Nationale) in France during World War I. As the war raged on, France needed financial support from its citizens to sustain military efforts, and posters like this played a crucial role in mobilizing the public to contribute to the war effort.
The composition is rich with symbolism and emotion. At the forefront, a serene yet resolute woman, draped in blue and white, holds an innocent child while extending an olive branch—a universal sign of peace. Behind her, a winged allegorical figure of Victory, clad in dramatic red robes, brandishes a sword and urges forward action. This juxtaposition between maternal protection and military force highlights the dual message of the poster: peace can only be achieved through victory.
The bold red typography reads:
"SOUSCRIVEZ POUR HÂTER LA PAIX PAR LA VICTOIRE" ("Subscribe to hasten peace through victory"), emphasizing the patriotic duty of citizens to invest in war bonds as a means of securing France’s triumph and eventual peace.
Created in the late phase of World War I, this poster reflects France’s determination and resilience. The use of dynamic lines, rich colors, and classical figures is characteristic of Besnard’s artistic style, blending Academic and Symbolist influences. This piece is not only a historical artifact but also a powerful example of propaganda art...

Leonor Fini, Rogomelec (rare print on paper)
By Leonor Fini
Located in Saint Ouen, FR
Leonor Fini, Rogomelec (rare original print on Rives paper)
Texte : Rare lithograph on Rives paper, handsigned and numered by surrealist artist Leonor Fini, now rediscovered and inscreasingly esteemed with the movement of rediscovering art by women. Leonor Fini was actually the life of the party during the Surrealist movement like Leonora Carrington, Remedios Varo, Jacqueline Lamba and Claude Lalanne. Many consider her to be the most fiercely independent female artist of the 20th centuryThis rare lithograph was made after the painting untitled Rogomelec, which was sold by Christie's on october 9th 2024 at GBP 907,200. Created in 1978, Rogomelec is an arresting example of Leonor Fini’s fantastical visions. Within a barren land stands a king dressed in an elaborate coat of peacock feathers. Light glints off his dazzling crown. He is magisterial, imperious, royalty incarnated. The painting shares its title with that of Fini’s third novella, first published in 1979; Rogomelec means ‘he who stones the king’. Written in the first person, the story tells of a traveller in a faraway land, home to a decaying monastery-turned-sanatorium, where monks proffer hallucinatory herbal cures, and culminates in an unsettling discovery during a ritual celebration of the king, the subject of the present work.
Born in Buenos Aires, Fini moved to Trieste as a young child. There, she developed an early interest in Renaissance and Mannerist art – the latter’s influence is evident in the elongated figure of Rogomelec – as well as Gustav Klimt, the Pre-Raphaelites, and the German and French Romantics, artists she discovered while riffling through her uncle’s extensive library. Largely self-taught, she moved to Paris in 1931 where she befriended René Magritte, Paul Éluard, Max Ernst, and Victor Brauner. Through them, Fini grew close with the Surrealists and participated in their exhibitions, including Peggy Guggenheim’s landmark show 31 Women at her eponymous gallery on West 57 Street in New York.
Like her contemporaries, Fini’s paintings too seem wrenched from a dream and across her works she sought to reconcile the world that she experienced with that of her subconscious mind.
