Automobiles Dion Bouton, 1903. An original, vintage, French art-nouveau advertising poster dating from 1903. An extremely rare poster and an exceptionally early piece of automotive memorabilia. Measures an imposing 50×37 inches. Clearly there are some significant issues in terms of tears, general wear and a missing section at upper left. The section to the immediate left of this missing area is detached, as is a similarly sized section at lower left. Elsewhere, the poster is 99% complete though clearly showing signs of age and wear. In several places paper has curled back around the edges of tears and just needs to be teased out during linen-backing. Fortunately, the missing section at upper left should be straightforward to recreate, given the comparative lack of detail in that area. Colours remain good and strong – look at the reds for confirmation of this. Little or no significant foxing or staining. If you are familiar with vintage posters then you’ll recognize the potential this piece has once in the hands of a decent restorer. A rare and beautiful piece in original condition, fully deserving of the restoration that is required. Please examine the images closely and ask all and any questions.
