Pullman Editions’ posters

 

Discover the lasting appeal of Art Deco with a poster from Pullman Editions ADVERTISING FEATURE

Pullman Editions designs, commissions and publishes striking original posters which capture the enduring appeal of Art Deco. Their newly-commissioned posters feature glamorous travel destinations around the world, winter sports in the French, Swiss and Austrian Alps, and the world’s greatest historic automobiles on the road and track.

The last decade or so has seen enormous growth in the vintage poster market, with prices growing steadily as demand increases for a product with only a finite supply. In the field of vintage winter sports posters for example, good posters from the 1920s and 1930s comfortably achieve five-figure sums at auction, with the finest posters reaching as much as £30,000 on the rare occasions they become available, excluding them to all but the wealthiest collectors.

Posters – once described as ‘a visual shout’ – proved an attractive, effective means of promotion and ‘at-a-glance’ display. Poster display was never more inspired than in the Art Deco period when posters, largely produced by Swiss and French railway companies, graced station platforms and billboards to persuade affluent and adventurous travellers to enjoy the newly-fashionable modern luxury travel. The vast majority of these classic posters were destroyed when replaced by other posters – it is the handful of surviving vintage posters that today fetch such dramatic prices.

Pullman Editions’ modern take on these Art Deco classics provide a more affordable way to decorate your home. Evoking memories of holidays and special occasions, their posters also make super original gifts. Having recognised the demand for stylish, decorative yet affordable posters, Pullman Editions is committed to designing and publishing new artworks to provide a modern alternative to the costly original Art Deco posters produced ‘in-period’. Executed by leading poster artists, each with their own unique ‘signature style’, their editions combine originality with the quintessential heritage and dramatic imagery of vintage posters.

Available in strictly limited editions of 280, the posters are printed using traditional techniques on the finest quality 100% cotton fine art paper. They are signed, hand-numbered and bear Pullman Editions’ embossed stamp of authenticity.

Each poster is approximately 97 x 65 cms, and they are supplied unframed in robust tubes, which can be shipped worldwide. A framing service is also offered for personal shoppers at the London gallery. Priced at £395 each including VAT (unframed), the limited-edition posters may be ordered online at www.pullmaneditions.com, or collected in person at the London gallery near Sloane Square in Chelsea.
