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.

  • Morning
    By Caroline Durieux
    Located in New Orleans, LA
    Caroline Durieux created the technique (electron print) used in the depiction of "Morning".e. This is only one of 5 impressions. Some have theorized that the image is close to that of the artist's brother, Professor Charles Durieux. In the electron print technique, radioactive isotopes are mixed with printing ink.

The paper is then developed and produces an exact image of the original drawing. “The image is transferred from the radioactive drawing to the sensitized paper by invisible beta rays,” says Dr. Wheeler. “Since beta rays are electrons, we named the process Electron Printing.” 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.
