Conditions Explained:
It is important to remember that you are buying an original vintage fine art poster an not a reproduction of any kind. We do not use terms like “mint” or “near mint” condition, as they are highly subjective. Each of our pieces is photographed in high quality so you can zoom in and view the poster in greater detail. In addition we use the following IVPDA (International Vintage Poster Dealers Association) approved condition rating system:
"A" Condition: the poster is in fine condition. The colours are fresh and there is no paper loss. If there is a slight tear, or folds, it is very unobtrusive.
"B" Condition: the poster is in good condition. The colours are acceptable. While slight paper loss maybe evident, it does not distract from the image. Restoration, if any, is not immediately apparent.
"C" Condition: the poster is in fair condition. Colours are faded, and there are signs of more extensive restoration. Existing folds are more visible, and possibly minor paper loss.
We further use '+' or '-' to more precisely describe the condition of a particular item (e.g.: B+). On top of this, we describe any “condition particularities” for individual pieces on its product page.
We apply the above condition rating system to all our posters and prints. If you have additional questions regarding our piece’s condition, we invite you to submit any inquiries.

This 1934 poster is French through and through: the Roman aqueduct, the medieval cathedral, the pretty, little rustic village, and of course a beautiful French woman carefully inspecting her prized grapes during harvest time. It's an advertisement for the Commercial Wine Fair in the town of Béziers, located in southern France. The city is one of the oldest in the country dating from 575 B.C. It is is perhaps most known for hosting the famous Feria de Béziers, centred on bullfighting, drinking wine, and having a good time in the warmth of the summer. This event attracts more than a million visitors every August. The attractions shown on this poster are the St. Nazaire Cathedral and Pont Vieux (or Old Bridge).
