Berlin (1955)
Lithographic poster 84 x 61 cm Original Vintage Poster Kaiser Wilhelm Gedächtniskirche from Kurfürstendamm by Night A view of the 'Champs Elysee' of Berlin, the main shopping street in 1955. Although it was designed just ten years after the Second World War's end, when much of the city still bore the scars of devastating conflict, the poster still manages to evoke a pre-war idea of Berlin (especially seen through the glamorous lens of the postwar 1950s). Fashionable figures cross the street, the cars are the latest and brightest, and the humming city is reflected in the wet road. This poster was designed to be overprinted with the name of the local airline. If you are interested email info@manningfineart.co.uk or call us on 07929 749056. Condition: Good. Backed to linen. Small loss to bottom left corner in margin; a little white spotting to the 'Berlin' panel. -

'Samivel' Paul Gayet-Tancrède (1907-1992) Les Pyrénées, France
Editions Mythra SA Chamonix Original Vintage Ski Poster 91x62cm With the ever-popular topic of skiing, Samivel here catches a chamois atop a Pyrenean hill, a mountain peak in the background. The chamois, a mountain goat-antelope, has hooked horns when fully grown, this one is likely a kid. Samivel was a writer, an artist, a photographer, an explorer and more. In 1948 he accompanied Paul Émile Victor on the first French Greenland expedition, making three documentary films in the process. His friends included Théodore Monod and Gilbert André - the latter the mayor of Bonneval-sur-Arc and one of the founders of the Vanoise National Park - and with them and others he spent his whole life aiming for the protection of the imperilled countryside. The graphic artist side of him had a life-long fascination with high mountains, and his illustrated books and series of posters of the French Alps have long been popular.

Switzerland of Tomorrow Welcomes You Today (1964)
Lithographic poster 152.4cm x 63.5 cm 1964 Original "Switzerland of Tomorrow" poster from the 1964 Swiss National Exhibition. As well as a brilliantly-designed futuristic poster printed in rich colours, it is a real piece of Swiss (and European) history. The poster is the English-language edition of a tourism-encouraging poster produced in several languages to welcome international visitors to an exhibition of Swiss innovation. Switzerland holds such an event four times per century, and the exhibitions often act as a portrait of contemporary culture, design, and politics. The 1964 National Exhibition in Lausanne offered a rather different representation of Switzerland from previous exhibitions. This was partly the result of its being held during one of the tensest periods of the Cold War; the attitudes of the Swiss were changing as the twentieth century progressed, as was the case for most Europeans, and the shadow of war had encouraged many citizens, businesses, and public bodies to reexamine their values. At "Expo 64", the nickname for that year's exhibition, the 'Gulliver Project' was introduced. The exhibition organisers made use of the character Gulliver (from Swift's 'Gulliver's Travels' to assess visitors' attitudes to daily life. A small questionnaire written by "Gulliver" was given to visitors, asking them questions about their societal attitudes, domestic lives, and work ethics, such as "Can you be a good Swiss and get up at 9am?". The theatre director Charles Apothéloz suggested having Gulliver ask these questions so as to make the questionnaire seem less serious, and to encourage people to answer truthfully. The questionnaire answers were compiled and analysed, but never published, as had been Apothéloz's initial intention. Charles Ascher discusses this at length in his 1965 article 'Gulliver in the Land of the Swiss'. If you are interested, please email info@manningfineart.co.uk or call us on 07929 749056. Condition: Good, pinholes to corners with some soft creases along bottom inch (would be hidden by mount). -

US Naval Aviation Training Division
RAF Hawker Typhoon World War 2 US airplane
Original aeroplane identification poster, 1942 63x47cm A particularly unusual style of aeroplane identification poster, owing to the very arty images. Most such posters rely on very plain silhouettes, this series - and we have several in this series (click here) - have a much more arty approach to the task with shading and an interesting angle view. The Typhoon is a single-seat fighter-bomber nicknamed the 'Tiffy'. Designed as a replacement for the Hawker Hurricane it never completely satisfied this expectation. However it was the only RAF fighter capable of catching the Fw 190 at low altitudes when the latter came into service in 1941. It became one of the most effective ground-attack aircraft of the Second World War. 3317 were produced and only one complete Typhoon still exists which belongs to the Royal Air Force Museum in Hendon.

1942 MacArthur name "Val" Aichi "Type 99"
World War II Japanese dive bomber plane
Original aeroplane identification poster, 1942 63 x 47 cm A particularly unusual style of aeroplane identification poster, owing to the very arty images. Most such posters rely on very plain silhouettes, this series - and we have many in this series - have a much more arty approach to the task with shading and an interesting angle view. The Aichi D3A Type 99 Carrier Bomber (Allied reporting name "Val") was a World War II carrier-borne dive bomber. It was the primary dive bomber of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) and was involved in almost all IJN actions, including the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Aichi D3A was the first Japanese aircraft to bomb American targets in the war, commencing with Pearl Harbor and U.S. bases in the Philippines, such as the Clark Air Force Base. They sank more Allied warships than any other Axis aircraft. If you'd like to know more, please email info@manningfineart.co.uk or call us on 07929 749056. -

Arne Ungermann (1902-1981)
'Den Permanente', "The Permanente Exhibition" (1956)
Lithographic poster 84 x 61 cm The Danish artist Arne Ungermann designed this poster in 1956 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Den Permanente in Copenhagen. Den Permanente, or the Permanent Exhibition, celebrated Danish art, craft, and design, and operated between the 1930s and 1980s. The Danish silversmith Kay Bojesen came up with the idea for the exhibition, which also served as a shop where customers could buy Danish art and crafts. Bojesen's idea became a reality when Christian Grauballe, director of the iconic Danish design company Holmegaard, invested in it in 1931. Den Permanente became an icon of Danish 20th century design, selling furniture, glassware, lighting, ceramics, jewellery, and textiles. Bojesen is most famous for his wooden monkey design, which Ungermann features in his poster. The motif of the mermaid emerging from the sea could be a motif drawn from Hans Christian Andersen, but made modern - she breaks the surface of the ocean in order to marvel at the treasure trove of man-made objects exhibited at Den Permanente. The notable Little Mermaid statue on Copenhagen's promenade, installed in 1913, is also inspired by Andersen's fairy tale.
