Two vintage poster illustrations, in both posters the main motif is the ladies from the early 20th century.
The first poster is from year 1896. It appeared on the front page of an illustrated weekly magazine published in London - the Pall Mall Budget. The poster was designed by the famous British painter and book illustrator Maurice Greiffenhagen.
The second poster is of similar age. It was designed as an advertising poster for the Odeon Casino by Walter Schnackenberg. This famous German painter and illustrator had a deep appreciation for the work of the French painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec whose influence is quite obvious on Schnackenberg’s poster art.
