réf. 215601Japan. Large striking colour poster 120 x 49.6cm. This poster has been folded causing three horizontal creases and another vertical running the full length of the long sheet. Repairs to folds including some colouring along paper abrasion on folds on image itself. Still a lovely poster. This beautiful colour advertisement poster promotes the moth-proof serge kimono fabric from Budōseru Grape Brand Serge. Serge kimonos became highly fashionable in Japan around the turn of the 20th century. The merino wool was imported from Australia being regarded as the most suitable fibre for single-layer kimonos. However woollen fabrics were susceptible to insect damage. To combat this issue the Grape Brand Serge manufacturer developed a moth-proofing treatment utilising chemicals from the German company Bayer. According to the poster Bayer's compounds were used and their treated serge was marked on the selvedge as "moth-proof Budo serge". This processing took place at their factory in Aichi Prefecture. In the foreground a classical Japanese beauty graces a hillside elegantly attired in a purple kimono with a parasol in her hand. Her black obi bears an unusual rainbow design. The artist's signature appears in the lower left corner. . unknown

Few small closed tears at margins neatly mended on the reverse a bright interesting item. Scarce. This intriguing advertisement showcases a variety of gifts traditionally given by Japanese families to celebrate the safe return of loved ones from military service. Up until 1945 all Japanese males were required to serve three years in the military at the age of 20 before returning to civilian life. Issued by the Tanaka Military Servicemen Department Store in Kurume Kyushu—a town known for its Army base—the advertisement highlights items such as sake drinking sets tea cups and wrapping cloths all personalised with designs logos soldiers' names and unit numbers. When a young man was conscripted he and his family often received farewell gifts including monetary gifts and goods. Upon his safe return families reciprocated with these commemorative items.

1950réf. 171319Huntington WV: Liggett and Myers 1950. Vintage US advertising poster featuring an illustration of Paul Douglas promoting Chesterfield cigarettes. Actor Paul Douglas began at 20th Century Fox as a narrator and caption writer notably narrating several Vitaphone short films. He made his acting debut on the stage and won a Theatre World Award and a Clarence Derwent Award for his portrayal of Harry Brock in Garson Kanin's "Born Yesterday." In films Douglas is well remembered for two baseball comedies: "It Happens Every Spring" 1949 and "Angels in the Outfield" 1951. He was also a powerful presence in screen dramas including "A Letter to Three Wives" 1949 "Executive Suite" 1954 and opposite Barbara Stanwyck in "Clash by Night" 1952. In 1960 he was cast in "The Twilight Zone" in an episode titled "The Mighty Casey" written for him by Rod Serling and based on his character in "Angels in the Outfield." Douglas died just after the completion of filming and his scenes were eventually re-shot with Jack Warden. At the time of his death he was also slotted to appear as Mr. Shendrake in Billy Wilder's "The Apartment" a role which upon his passing was filled by Fred MacMurray. Chesterfield cigarettes were produced by the Liggett and Myers Tobacco Company in Huntington West Virginia Cabell County now on the National Register of Historic Places in the US. The Chesterfield brand was introduced in 1912 and was modified significantly until 1916. Its ultimate recipe was a Turkish-Virginia blend with Burley and Maryland tobaccos added. In 1916 it became the first cigarette to add a moisture-proof plastic wrap to cover its paper and foil pack and in 1952 it became the first cigarette brand to offer two sizes King and Regular. Today Liggett & Myers now the Liggett Group is the fourth largest tobacco company in the United States The design highlights the slogan "Best for you!" and promotes the brand as "First with Premium Quality" alongside Douglas's personal endorsement: "My Steady Smoke for 22 Years." 21 x 22 inches rolled.

1896réf. 72755New York: Harper & Brothers 1896. First U.S. edition. In heavy-paper advertising dust jacket imprinted "Columbia Book Cover/ Protector Co./ Patented/ 1320 Chamber of Commerce/ Chicago Ill" and consisting of fold-on sleeves for the book covers each one three-holed punched and fitted with metal grommets through which string is laced across the spine. One cover illustrated with lithograph of the Siegel-Cooper & Co. department store at the corner of Van Buren and Congress. The other with a chromolithograph of The Woman's Building at the 1863 Chicago's World Fair with "The Womans sic Building. 200 x 400 feet. Cost $120000" printed at bottom. The cover is folded onto the book upside down so that the Woman's Building image is on the back vs. the front and the flaps are reversed. Presumably intended as a school textbook cover - with flaps intended for the front unprinted and the ones intended for the back printed with a message encouraging children not to spend their nickels and dimes on useless things when they can deposit them and earn a 4.5% interest instead. Unfortunately for all involved Henry Siegel and his partner Frank Vogel would later be accused of using monies from the bank to finance their department stores as well as receiving bank deposits while insolvent. Although nothing on the jacket explicitly states that it was made for distribution at or during the fair period advertisements show that Siegel-Cooper department store dubbed itself the other "Magnetic Attraction" in Chicago during the fair and offered extra services to entice fair-goers into the store -- while also advertising their unregulated Savings Bank. 8vo green cloth boards stamped in gilt and black; 194 pages plus 6 pages of publisher's ads. Book is near fine with trace rubbing at spine offsets from jacket flaps on opposing endpapers and 1897 ownership signature on front endpaper. Dust jacket/book cover protector is a little age darkened but otherwise about very good with edges rubbed corners nicked short narrow hole to one fold and few inconspicuous tears. We can find no other example of a similarly styled dust jacket. Rare. Harper & Brothers unknown
