1950ref. 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.

Publisher's deep green cloth WITH A LOVELY DESIGN BY PAUL BERTHON depicting two graceful figures against a background of dense foliage lower cover printed with a similar foliate pattern smooth spine barely visible expert repairs at some spine ends. The five volumes with a total of 256 CHROMOLITHOGRAPHED PLATES as called for by artists including Chéret Mucha Toulouse-Lautrec Steinlen Maxfield Parrish Edward Penfield and others. All plates with embossed device in the lower right corner. Carteret IV 261. See Stanley Appelbaum Introduction to The Complete Masters of the Poster New York: Dover Publications 1990; Alain Weill Masters of the Poster 1900 Paris: Bibliothèque de l'Image 2001. All volumes with corners slightly bumped and very minor rubbing to the printed decoration on the boards. Front hinge of volumes II and V just beginning to separate at the top though no hint of looseness a few small tears to tissue guards other trivial defects but A REMARKABLY FINE COPY of a work difficult to find this way with fresh and clean plates throughout. Called by author Stanley Appelbaum "one of the most prestigious and influential art publications in history" this lush collection of Belle Epoque advertising posters is offered here in fine condition in its original very attractive decorated boards. The art of the poster enjoyed an unprecedented popularity in the last decade of the 19th century spurred on by advances in lithography and by a new aesthetic sensibility in advertising. These changes were largely due to the work of Parisian artist and printer Jules Chéret 1836-1932 whose gracefully drawn and brightly colored lithographic posters were a significant departure from the largely monochrome letterpress posters of the previous generation. In light of this it is no surprise that Weill calls Chéret "the incontestable father figure" of the illustrated poster. Issued by Chéret's own press Imprimerie Chaix the present publication consists of chromolithographic reproductions of posters that were released monthly in groups of four numbered plates to subscribers between December 1895 and November 1900. On 16 occasions these installments also included a bonus lithograph by Chéret something not infrequently missing from bound sets but present here as the unnumbered plates. Subscribers who wished to have installments bound were offered the service by the printers complete with the binding designed by Berthon as here. The work of 97 different artists is represented in this publication's five volumes many of them French or working in Paris such as Chéret Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec Alphonse Mucha Pierre Bonnard and Georges Meunier. But the work of artists from other countries particularly the United States United Kingdom and Germany is also represented in the collection. These fresh and lively posters with their vibrant colors and sensuous lines turn advertisements for the most mundane things into glorious dreamscapes. Notable examples included in this publication are Toulouse-Lautrec's famous poster for the Moulin Rouge nightclub number 122 Alphonse Mucha's advertisement for Job cigarette papers number 202 and Cheret's poster depicting modern dancer Loie Fuller number 78. Many copies of this highly desirable publication have been taken apart over the years making a complete set especially one in excellent condition challenging to obtain. We could find no such set currently offered by an online dealer. Even when complete the size and weight of the volumes have often proven too difficult a burden for boards that are not as strong as they might be; happily there is nothing infirm or wobbly about the present set which remains as firm as it is bright. Because of this combination of scarcity and condition issues fine and complete sets like the present one are highly sought after and command substantial prices: even a set lacking 14 plates with four duplicates brought $41400 at Swann as long ago as 2005 and single plates are currently retailing for up to $5000. Apart from its value given the beauty and energy resident in the pages of this dynamic work it is surely among the most memorably joyful modern illustrated books we have ever offered for sale.

ref. 71248Salt Lake County 2001. Ephemera. Fine. More images available upon request. 745 items. Almost all in fine condition. The flyers and posters range from 1/2 standard sheet size approx. 8.5" x 5" to large posters approx. 17" x 14". Most are standard sheet size 8.5" x 11". Roughly a dozen duplicates are present. An enormous collection documenting live music festivals and performance in the Salt Lake area through the 1990s in the clubs and small venues of the valley. Legendary clubs like the Speedway Cafe Pompadour Bar & Grill Bricks Spanky's Playscool the basement of DV8 Burt's Tiki Lounge Dead Goat Saloon Area 51 The Zephyr Club The Holy Cow now the Urban Lounge and Kilby Court are well represented as well as the holes-in-the-wall like the Moroccan Painted Word Shaggy's Living Room and Green Guinea. Educational and cultural institutions and outdoor venues are also prominently featured in this collection including Bryant Intermediate School the University of Utah Ballroom in the Union Building Westminster College the Indian Walk In Center Draper Park and the Fairgrounds Creative Arts Building. Some places provided venues on a weekly basis other places provided them only a few times or maybe even just once. A number of flyers showcase then unknown bands who first played tiny venues like these and who went on to gain a larger audience and in some cases are still performing today The Vandals Social Distortion Bad Religion GWAR Slayer Johnny Rotten Suicidal Tendencies Korn and many others. Countless local acts are represented including those that performed steadily throughout these years Iceburn; Endless Struggle; Starmy; Red Bennies; Bob Moss; Daughters of the Nile as well as bands that were together for slightly shorter periods Mouthbreather; Gnawing Suspicion; Wovoka etc. Interestingly a handful of local bands that had their origins in the 1980s appear such as Bad Yodelers Potato Heads Dinosaur Bones The Clocks a noise band Slaughterchrist and the Stench. The bands are announced in a way that was standard during this period- with imaginatively designed often do-it-yourself paper flyers posters and handbills. The lion's share are illustrated with no mention of the artist. Some are very simple just delivering the necessary information. This collection manages to document the entirety of the music scene instead of a single genre with numerous examples of posters and handbills promoting Hardcore Punk Pop Rap Metal Industrial Folk Bluegrass Rockabilly Psychobilly Ska/Reggae etc. Not only does this archive highlight the bands and the incredibly diverse musical movements that were moving through Utah during this period but at the same time it calls attention to the promoters who worked so hard to put the shows together find willing venues and get the word out to the public- promoters such as Raunch Modified Heavy Metal Shop Graywhale KRCL and Slug Productions. Finally when flipping through the flyers one can't help but think of the artists behind the scenes who created the flyers thereby playing a large role in advertising the events. The bands that passed through Utah came from far and wide as is evidenced in these flyers and they performed at all types of different venues. They came from Washington D.C. California Missouri Michigan the UK Canada and a multitude of other places. More often than not after a band played the members did not disappear backstage never to be seen again. Instead most of them watched the other bands that were playing and they mingled with the people who had come to support them creating a significant exchange of experiences and ideas. The shows were frequent widening the audience's world and cultivating a sense that there was something to do in a state known for its sheltered lifestyle and conservatism. Many of the shows took place in Salt Lake City however they also radiated out to areas which included Murray Provo Bountiful and Logan. This certainly wasn't the only time in Utah's history that an energetic and creative music movement took hold of the musicians promoters and audiences however the period represented in this collection does symbolize an important piece of the puzzle in the counter-culture history of Utah's live music scene. First and foremost these flyers underscore the ideas and values that were important to the musicians and the people attending these shows: providing "all ages" venues; charging low entry fees often $3 to $7 and occasionally organizing free events; working around Utah's quirky laws such as the private club law which required a patron to pay a fee and fill out an application before entering a bar; and banding together to put on benefit shows for the unsheltered Food Not Bombs Rape Recovery Center Utah Humane Society Best Friends Animal Society Utah Food Bank and U.S. Cuba Friendshipment/Right to Travel among others. A large extremely well preserved assortment of visually interesting concert flyers. While the archive illustrates how diversified the music scene in Utah was during the nineties at the same time it demonstrates the cohesiveness of the local music community- a community which possessed a strong ability to foster an environment which promoted individuality and activism. "Witness the shredding of the Zion Curtain" - from the flyer for Head Fest 95'. unknown books
