Johannes Handschin
Original 'Apollo Stumpen' vintage Swiss cigar poster

1940

About the Item

Original Swiss poster: Apollo Stumpen Cigars. Johannes Handschin created this Swiss poster. Swiss size of 35" x 49". Professional acid-free archival linen backed, ready to frame. The colors are vibrant and intense. Great colors. Rare original Swiss (Switzerland) vintage poster. This is the rarer large format, the rarest version of the poster. The small format is 20 x 27, about 1/2 the size. There is a flaw in the lower section of the man’s covering, the lower left of his chin. Shown in images. Switzerland was known for some of the better printing of their posters and the use of more expensive inks, thus richer colors in the posters that survive today. This art deco-style cigar poster of a hooded 'Apollo' Greek god is shown smoking one of the Apollo Stumpen cigars. A small package of cigars is on the bottom right side. A great large cigar poster for Apollo Stumpen Cigars. Image how great it will look in a cigar room on a man cave. This is an Original Lithograph Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction.

  • Original Holiday Come to Belgium by Dover Ostend vintage travel poster
    Located in Spokane, WA
    Original Holiday, Come to Belgium vy Dover Ostend vintage travel poster. Conservation linen backed in A condition ready to frame. Printer: Cocu & Mairesse, Quaregnon. An adorable cherub invites us to hop on the ferry from Dover to holiday in Belgium. At just three hours of travel time, it’s a quick and easy way to cross the English Channel. A halo with the wording Holiday rests on her head, where white wings allow her to float in the air with her set of golf clubs and to hold onto her luggage. Come to Belgium by Dover Ostend ferry. The sky is a baby blue, and her dress is dark blue. She is looking back as she flies along. You can see that her feet appear to be backward as she starts to land, but this is because she has turned her head to look back, maybe to make sure her wings are fully extended for the journey.

  • Survivor
    By Caroline Durieux
    Located in New Orleans, LA
    Caroline Durieux's "Survivor" is a pencil-signed lithograph created in 1947 in an edition of 20. It is illustrated in Carl Zigrosser's book on the artist published in 1949. Durieux on Survivor "An extra-terrestrial spotlight falls on this battered subhuman figure; he does not look directly into the light but away from it, raising his hand to it like a beggar. The worn pads on his hands and knees shows that he has walked on them, like an animal, for a long time. There is nothing to suggest that he can stand. The beam of light looks cold, machine like, impersonal. Scornful satire marks the limit of comedy for '. . . there is nothing funny about scorn which comes round again almost to the attitude of divine comedy.' Caroline Durieux (American, 1896 – 1989) Printmaker, painter, satirist, innovator, social activist, Caroline Durieux was born in New Orleans and was already making sketches by the age of four. Her formal art training was at Newcomb College (1912-1917) and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (1918-1920). Carl Zigrosser of the Philadelphia Museum of Art encouraged Durieux to try lithography. While living in Mexico, she learned lithography from Emilio Amero...
