F. Hugo d'Alesi, Griffon vintage poster
Est: $1,700 - $2,000
F. Hugo d'Alesi Griffon vintage poster 1905 48.375 h x 33.125 w in (123 x 84 cm) D'Alesi was born in Romania. Once in France, he became an immensely popular and prolific artist in the 1880s and 1890s. He was also an exacting artist, "notorious for having ruined several printers, not hesitating to ask for one or two extra color printings in order to obtain exactly the shading he wanted" (Livre de l'Affiche, p. 14). He is also often credited as the "inventor of the 'landscape poster' typical of the first period in poster design" (Affiches d'Azur, p. 19). And though not promoting a tourist destination in this Griffon motorbike poster, he certainly brings his love of the panoramic sweep to the design-an ideal promotional thrust for those looking to get away from the confinement of the daily grind. This is a two-sheet poster. Imp. Griffon, Paris. This work will ship from Chicago, Illinois.

Est: $2,500 - $3,500
F. Hugo d'Alési 1849-1906 Centenaire de la Lithographie / Galerie Rapp. 1897. Condition B+: repaired tears at edges, some into image with slight overpainting; creases, abrasions and restored losses in margins; creases and abrasions in image, some with slight overpainting; foxing at top margin and upper image. Linen trimmed to edges. To announce an exhibition celebrating the first 100 years of lithography, the Galerie Rapp commissioned four artists to design posters for the event: Puvis de Chavannes, Pal, Paul Maurou and Hugo d'Alési. Curiously, of the three posters, only the one by Puvis de Chavannes actually includes the date of the exhibition. This rare image by d'Alési is a stunningly-colored, atmospheric scene of a woman shopping for lithographs in one of the book stalls along the Seine River. In a charming, referential nod to the father of modern lithography, Jules Chéret's 1894 poster for Madame Sans Gene is hanging in front of her as she admires a lithograph by Nicolas-Toussaint Charlet. Maitres pl. 66, DFP-II 16, Reims 115, Abdy p. 2.

Original Vintage French Lac D'Annecy Poster by Hugo d'Alesi 1900 PLM
Est: $2,000 - $3,000
Lac d'Annecy (Lake Annecy in English) is a bucolic area of the French Alps, near the Swiss border. For centuries it has been prized for its dramatic beauty, but surged in popularity in the early 1900s when the expansion of trains made it more accessible. This poster promotes exactly that; hop aboard the Paris - Lyon- Mediterranee (P.L.M.) train and several hours later, a boat will meet you at the Lac d'Annecy station for transport to the resort towns and thermal baths that line the Lake. The beauty of the Lake is on full display in this poster, with a dramatic sunset beginning to dip behind the peaks of the Alps. Seagulls graze the water as the boat comes to pick us up for our vacation. Hugo d'Alesi (1849-1906) created this stunning poster. Born in Romania, d'Alesi was one of the first true poster artists and he worked almost exclusively for the P.L.M. train company. He printed his posters in an elaborate fashion that often incorporated more than 15 colors, which gave them a rich, watercolor effect. His hundreds of poster designs were well-loved by all of France, including some famous artists. Paul Cezanne once said, "I should like to do decorative landscapes like Hugo d'Alesi, yes, with my small sensibility". This is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction. This poster is conservation mounted, linen backed, and in excellent condition. We guarantee the authenticity of all of our posters.

Original 19th C. French Travel Poster - Lac D 'Annecy
Est: $1,200 - $1,800
Hugo d'Alesi (French / Romanian, 1849-1906 - also known as Friedrich Hugo Alesi or Friedrich Hugo Alessi). "Lac D"Annecy" lithograph in colors, linen backed, ca. 1900. An original French travel poster on linen by Friedrich Hugo d'Alesi who was best known for his exceptional travel posters commissioned by railroad lines. This composition features Lake Annecy in the Haute Savoie with a view of La Tournette which rises 2500 meters from the lake. In the foreground, D'Alesi featured the boat La France which would later sink; this location has become a favorite diving spot. A stunning original French travel poster by Hugo d'Alesi mounted in an attractive custom frame. Size (sight view): 40.75" L x 28.25" W (103.5 cm x 71.8 cm) Hugo d'Alesi was among the earliest artists to design posters for French railways. His posters were printed via a process called simile-aquarelle (meaning "faux watercolor"). The final images were comprised of as many as 20 different colors, resulting in rich imagery that was more detailed and painterly than later travel posters. Unfortunately, the process was very expensive process and eventually drove D'Alesi into bankruptcy. D'Alesi's posters had many admirers throughout the world including Paul Cezanne, who stated, "I should like to do decorative landscapes like Hugo d'Alesi, yes, with my small sensibility" (Source: Swann Galleries - Cezanne p. 232).

Est: $1,400 - $1,700
ARTIST: F. HUGO D'ALESI (1849-1906) SIZE: 35 1/4 x 48 3/4 in./89.6 x 124 cm PRINTER: Imp. A. Bellier, Paris (not shown) DESCRIPTION: “Connemara is a savage beauty.” That’s how Oscar Wilde described the unspoiled magnificence of the Gallway country town whose name translates from the Irish as “Conneely’s Village.” In Connemara, the light constantly changes the mood and tone of the landscape, and perhaps no artist was better suited to set this on paper than d’Alesi. Long regarded the jewel of Ireland, the promotion is an extremely rare foreign foray for the French designer, though it’s possible that the image was intended for distribution in Paris. Whatever the situation, the artist is as comfortable with the gothic chill of a 6th century graveyard as he is with the brooding thrill of the dewy, undulant landscape. (Art Nouveau; Travel; Railway)

Est: $1,300 - $1,950

In the foreground, D'Alesi featured the boat La France which would later sink; this location has become a favorite diving spot. A stunning original French travel poster by Hugo d'Alesi mounted in an attractive custom frame. Size (sight view): 40.75" L x 28.25" W (103.5 cm x 71.8 cm) Hugo d'Alesi was among the earliest artists to design posters for French railways. His posters were printed via a process called simile-aquarelle (meaning "faux watercolor"). The final images were comprised of as many as 20 different colors, resulting in rich imagery that was more detailed and painterly than later travel posters. Unfortunately, the process was very expensive process and eventually drove D'Alesi into bankruptcy. D'Alesi's posters had many admirers throughout the world including Paul Cezanne, who stated, "I should like to do decorative landscapes like Hugo d'Alesi, yes, with my small sensibility" (Source: Swann Galleries - Cezanne p. 232).
