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.

"The TALBOT is also recognized for the elegance of the owner" states this 1930 advertisement. This art deco ad, for the now extinct car brand, was created by Marcel Jacques Hemjic about whom we know little about. The impressiveness and elegance of the vehicle can't be denied with its sleek, modern look. We can't help but be at the very least intrigued by the elegant woman gazing over the golf course and she prepares for the game.
Particulars: This lithographic print is from an original vintage magazine. It has been professionally conserved and backed on acid-free linen paper.

Close inspection will reveal some visible ink showing through from the reverse side and/or faint ink faults created by the printing press.
