Newfoundland

Cradle of New World History

c 1955

Very Good. Original Poster. 36" X 23.5" . Minimal creasing to edges and a few creases below the word "Newfoundland."

Rich colours and bold shapes make for a fantastic Newfoundland poster.

A great Newfoundland Tourism poster. Probably made shortly after Newfoundland became a province in 1949. Depicts a rocky coast line with a small white house.

Newfoundland.

Canada's New-Fun-Land c 1950

Very Good. Original Poster. 36" X 23.5" . Some creasing to the edges and a few small closed tears (all less than 0.5") to the lower right-hand edge of the poster. The poster is marked "Printed in Canada" in the lower right and "FM 7409" in the lower left corner. A capturing image with bold contrast and strong colours, supplemented beautifully by the fantastic subtitle.

Newfoundland was made a province officially in 1949. This poster is a great piece of tourism promoting ephemera from shortly after. Depicts a somewhat abstracted scene of ships in a harbor looking out over a rocky coast littered with brightly coloured houses. Scene is viewed from within a wooden structure. A wonderful Canadian poster.

Berlin: W. Girardet, Essen, [circa 1936], Original Poster. Near fine. 29" X 20" (74 X 51 cm). Slight wear and creasing (mainly near the edges), else in excellent condition. Rich, deep colouring.

A bold and enticing monochromatic photographic image showing an inviting lake nestled within a lush valley. The lake shown is the Konigssee, or "King's Lake", which is arguably one of the most beautiful areas of the Bavarian Alps. The Königssee is a natural lake in the extreme southeast Berchtesgadener Land district of the German state of Bavaria, near the border to Austria. Most of the lake is within the Berchtesgaden National Park. The literal translation appears to be "King's Lake"; however while German: König does indeed mean "king", there had been no Bavarian kings since the days of Louis the German until Elector Maximilian I Joseph assumed the royal title in 1806. Therefore the name more probably stems from the first name Kuno of local nobles, who appear in several historical sources referring to the donation of the Berchtesgaden Provostry in the 12th century; the lake was formerly called Kunigsee.

It is considered to be the most successful World's Fair of the 20th century, with the most attendees to that date and 62 nations participating. It also set the single-day attendance record for a world's fair, with 569,500 visitors on its third day. Italy's pavilion was architecturally striking with its roof, a large curved surface, that began near the ground, then soared towards the sky, completely independent of the building below. Dominating the roof were three sculptures which symbolized the themes of the Italian exhibits: Tradition, Customs and Progress. A bunished bronze sphere by Arnaldo Pomodoro was the one that caught most passers-by's eyes.

This event was, no doubt, one of many which helped to bring about this change.
