Original vintage Argentinean movie poster for the 1970 English/Italian/West German romantic horror thriller Portrait of Dorian Gray (Argentinean title: El Secreto de Dorian Gray) directed by Massimo Dallamano and starring Helmut Berger, Richard Todd, Maria Rohm and Herbert Lom.

The poster reflects this stylistic choice with an artwork showing a barechested Helmut Berger (who plays Dorian Gray), set against a black background while a small photograph on the right shows him lying in bed with Maria Rohm.

Original vintage World War Two poster by the notable British cartoonist and illustrator, Fougasse (Cyril Kenneth Bird; 1887-1965). This is one of the posters from the popular Careless Talk Costs Lives wartime propaganda series issued by the Ministry of Information - "...strictly between these four walls!" Image of two men in armchairs holding newspapers with an image of Hitler's face in a portrait hanging behind them. Cyril Kenneth Bird CBE (17 December 1887 – 11 June 1965), known by the pen name Fougasse, was a British cartoonist best known for his work in Punch magazine (of which he served as editor from 1949 to 1953) and his World War II warning propaganda posters. He also designed many posters for the London Underground. Bird was born in London on 17 December 1887, the son of Arthur Bird, a company director. He was educated at Cheltenham College and King's College London (B.Sc). While at King's College he attended evening art classes at the Regent Street Polytechnic and at the School of Photo-Engraving in Bolt Court. He was seriously injured at the Battle of Gallipoli during World War I and invalided out of the British Army. Bird first contributed to Punch in 1916, while convalescing, and also contributed to several other British newspapers and magazines, including the Graphic and Tatler. His pen name was based on the fougasse, a type of mine. As one of the best known cartoonists of the time, he was one of 170 authors who created doll-sized books exclusively for Queen Mary's Dolls' House; his illustrated verse tale, written on postage stamp-sized pages, was published as a regular-sized hardback in 2012 by the Royal Collection and Walker Books. In the course of the 1920s and 1930s, his drawings evolved from the traditionally representational to an innovative, spare, style that was both unique and popular, featuring in many advertising campaigns as well as in magazine editorial. He became art editor of Punch from 1937 to 1949, then editor until 1953. He was the only cartoonist ever to edit the magazine. During World War II, he worked unpaid for the Ministry of Information, designing humorous but effective propaganda posters including the famous "Careless Talk Costs Lives" series. For this work he was awarded the honour of Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1946. He illustrated and co-wrote several humorous books with W. D. H. McCullough. These included the very successful Aces Made Easy – or Pons asinorum in a nutshell, on the subject of contract bridge, in 1934, and You Have Been Warned – A Complete Guide to the Road, in 1935. In the mid 1950s, he taught at the Christian Science Sunday School in the Sloane Square church, which has since been converted into the Cadogan Hall concert hall. He died in London, aged 77. Since 2009 his cartoon of a butler carrying a tray has been used to illustrate the front page of British Airways' First Class menus, continuing an association with the airline which goes back to the 1930s when Fougasse penned advertising posters for BA's forerunner, Imperial Airways. Condition: Excellent condition.. Country of printing: UK, designer: Fougasse (Cyril Kenneth Bird, size (cm): 32x20.5, year of printing: 1940s.
Courtesy of Caroline E. Romer Honeysuckle in a Blue Vase, 2017, an original oil on canvas by Caroline E. Romer The oil on canvas is framed and measures app. 20” x 24” with frame and 16” x 20” without Caroline Eve Romer was born in 1955 in Hertfordshire in England. She grew up in a family of artists, her mother Philippa Romer and her grandmother Hilda Tomson being both portrait painters. The studio atmosphere and the smell of turps were never far away. Between 1974 and 1978 she studied painting at the Byam Shaw School of Art in London. In the summer of 1974 she made her first journey to India, and in 1975 to Morocco. These journeys opened-up a life-long interest in combining her painting with travelling. In 1979 she married and went to live in the heart of the Spanish Pyrenees where she lived for over 30 years. The mountains and their people were always a strong source of inspiration to her work during all that time. Caroline is a passionate student of landscape and the human figure within it. She now lives in Devon. In 2011 she organised a show, "3 Generations". It was a homage to her Grandmother Hilda Kidman and her Mother Philippa Romer. In 2012 Caroline held an exhibition of work out of Burma and India in London. In 2014 she showcased her work from her trip to Ghana and some paintings from Essex. Her latest show in London exhibited her new work from New Mexico, Italy and England. Her exhibition in 2018 presented her most recent paintings from Benin and England. https://www.ceromerpaintings.com/about
