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). -
'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.

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.

Percy Drake Brookshaw (1907-1993) Cricket
Original coach poster Lithograph c. 1950s 76x50cm A poster for advertising details of coaches to cricket matches such as The Ashes or other Test Matches. Brookshaw was born in Southwark, in London, and educated at the Central School of Arts and Crafts. He was a particularly accomplished lithographer, skilled also as a painter in both oil and watercolour. Identifying the former talent, F Gregory Brown - the poster and textile designer - encouraged him to become an illustrator and poster designer. Producing posters for London Transport and Shell, inter alia, between 1928 and 1958, many of his posters depict sporting events. His two posters for the annual University Boat Race are well known and highly sought after, and his wonderful posters often evoke a feeling of movement, whether rowers straining on their oars, or horses or greyhounds racing.
