PSIM (DATE UNKNOWN) EDDY-JOHNNY. 1938. 46x31 inches. Harford, Paris.
PSIM (DATE UNKNOWN) EDDY-JOHNNY. 1938.
46 7/8x31 5/8 inches. Harford, Paris.
Condition B+: restored minor losses, repaired tears and creases in margins and image; time staining in margins; vertical and horizontal folds.
We will probably never know anything about PSIM as it was certainly a pseudonym. Jazzy male performing duos were extremely fashionable in the thirties, following the success of the Americans Layton and Johnston. In France, the most famous were Pills and Tabet, and Charlie and Johnny (Charlie being Charles Trenet). On this previously undocumented poster Eddy, with his little moustache, might very well be Eddie Barclay (1921-2005) who was working in those days as a jazz pianist before becoming a French recording industry magnate. Designed using a cut-out technique, this is a stylized, clean, elegant and simple image of the performers.
