    That the American involvement in the Vietnam War spawned a myriad of protests is hardly a secret. It was the dawning of a new age of questioning, when it became apparent that perhaps one’s government might not be functioning to serve the interests of the majority, but rather to cater to a gluttonous, fearful few. And in the tried and true old friend of disseminating dissenting viewpoints—the poster—the opposition movement found a powerful graphic voice. This skilk-screend poster is part of a series done by students at Rhode Island School of Design in opposition to the war in Vietnam.

    Size: 31 3/4 x 71 5/8 inches

    Condition: 31 3/4 x 71 5/8 inches

    The Great Acrobatic Party is a grandiose event indeed, as one can glean from the exhaustive list of events presented: ascension of the first balloon, a regular balloon launch followed by a second group equipped with automatic release parachutes, an aerial cyclist performance (using a balloon without basket, valve, or stopping gear, etc. mounted by M. Gilbert, world champion, and the only one to go up 10,000 feet in space on a bicycle), raining flowers and parachutes, concerts, and an acrobatic party featuring the burlesque acrobats Fred and Jack (plus Juliani, the late-century juggler from Cirque d'Été; Smith, the reptile man from Nouveau Cirque; antipode exercises; Constanz-Ida of the Folies Bergère on a steel wire; and comic cyclists). But that's just the beginning. On the right-hand side of the poster, the regulations for the Balloon Rally are detailed: opposing teams—mimicking enemy countries—must pursue a balloon cyclist carrying privy information and return the captive on the same machine he flew away on. Later events include a women's race, followed by "Under the Butter Market," which features oxyradical light projection by M. Ludovic Gully from Rouen, accompanied by illuminations of the great boulevards and monuments of the city. Later, more concerts, a great torch light retreat, and a finale performance by the great M. Gilbert on his Gladiator aerocycle. Are you still with us? This poster was printed by woodblock and is engraved with a color tip-on of a balloon. All in all, it is a sensational and unique piece!

    This very decorated design promotes Japanese and Chinese teas expressly packed and imported for E. Guittard & Co. of San Francisco. The company's founder, Etienne Guittard, traveled from France to the Barbary Coast in hopes of benefitting from the California Gold Rush. He came armed with chocolate from his uncle's factory to trade for mining supplies, but soon realized that the chocolates were a valuable delicacy of their own right. He founded his company in 1868 and sold coffee, tea, and spices alongside his chocolates. The company is still in operation to this day.

    Condition: A- / slight stains at edges.

    Today, Paris's Jardin Zoologique is a children's amusement park—but the zoo has serious skeletons in its closet. Opened in 1860 by Napoleon III, early intentions were innocent enough: botanical exhibitions featured acclimating plants and animals from France's colonies. But during the siege of Paris from 1870-1871, many of the animals were cooked and served by the zoo's chef. Thereafter, it was converted into l'Acclimatation Anthropologique—a human zoo—with surprising amounts of attendees (some one million visitors from 1877-1912). This particular promotion touts an exhibition of Sinhalese people from Sri Lanka. These barbaric affairs continued until 1931, when the owners finally realized their wrongs, and converted the venue into a children's attraction. This woodblock-engraved poster includes a color tip-on by Léon Sault.

    One of the most celebrated series of posters from the 1960s was a creation of the Doyle Dane Bernbach agency. Under its art director Howard Zieff, a dozen images of decidedly non-Jewish characters delighted in the ‘real Jewish rye’ baked by Levy’s. These posters appeared on their delivery trucks and in the New York subways. The first and rarest image from this series.
