LOUIS TONYN PLAQUES JOUGLA.
Minot, Paris.
56x391/2 inches.
- Notes: Tonyn was an established painter of landscapes and still-lifes, who had exhibited at the Salon des Artists Francaise as early as 1907. This, his only known poster, must have been designed early in his career and was most likely his only attempt at the art form. Advertising photographic plates under the slogan "night and day," Tonyn comes up with a simple conceit to convey the ease and universality of the product. He depicts the globe, half shrouded in darkness, surrounded by colorful, exotic people from around the world, an eskimo, a geisha, a native American and an elegant European, each wielding a different kind of camera. The image is well drawn and colored with good detail and effect between the light and the dark halves of the poster.
- Condition: Condition B+: repaired tears and creases in margins; staining in right margin. Japan.
