We always have a stock of vintage travel posters, all original, no reproductions, mostly from the 1920s to the 1950s. These posters were printed on paper and by their very nature somewhat ephemeral and delicate - they were designed to be pasted onto a wall or hoarding, or pinned up in a shop or travel agency, and then destroyed or simply pasted over. All those listed here are original paper versions, although some may have been mounted on linen where mentioned. They were often designed by the top commercial artists of the day and remain a very decorative, and an affordable, item. Feel free to email if you have any questions, or to enquire about any poster.

Theatre Rejane. Original French Theatre poster, 1913, 425mm x 580mm, restored.
The first theatre on the site was built by the Duke of Richelieu in 1730. Baron Ogny bought it in 1779 and renamed it Folie-Richelieu.
In 1811, the Folie-Richelieu was transformed into a park, then demolished completely in 1851 in the redevelopment under Baron Haussmann. It became the site of the church of Sainte-Trinite de Paris with part of the site becoming a roller skating rink.
In 1880, using plans by the architects Aime Sauffroy and Ferdinand Gremailly, part of the rink became the Palace Theatre and, after a further restoration in 1891 by Edouard Niermans, the Casino de Paris.
After that, the rest of the rink, near the present rue Blanche, was demolished to make way for the Nouveau-Theatre.
In 1906, the actress Gabrielle Rejane bought the theatre, renovated it and gave it a new name, the Theatre Rejane. She produced among other works the French premiere of Maeterlinck's L'oiseau bleu in 1911 and successfully played her signature role of Madame Sans-Gene by Victorien Sardou at the theatre.
The producer Leon Volterra bought the hall in 1918, and on 12 August 1919, he inaugurated the Theatre de Paris, Rejane having stipulated in the sales contract that the theatre could not retain her name.
