This is a wonderful lithographic print taken from the original 1927 artwork of Erte. This was the "Angel" costume from the 1927 production of "George White's Scandals", which was similar to and a competitor of the Ziefeld Follies. Erte was a Russian-born French designer, painter and sculptor. He is now best known for his fashion illustrations, but began his career as an artist and a designer of advertising posters. His drawings, many of which began to appear the fashion magazine “Harper's Bazaar”, epitomised the opulence, elegance and fun of the Art Deco period in the early 20th Century. This was a time when social restraints were being relaxed and for the first time luxury goods and high fashion were becoming big business. With increasing success, Erte went on to design costumes and sets for theatre, cabaret, opera, ballet and cinema. The print is in excellent condition with no rips tears or creases. There is a small production blemish to the top left hand corner but once mounted and framedthis willnot be seen. The print measures approx 23 x 16cm and has no border around it. There is a small amount of text(6 words to be exact), printed small, to the verso which cannot be seen through the high quality, glossy paper and will not spoil your enjoyment of this lovely print. Please do not confuse this print with a cheap home produced scanned copy, as can be found in many eBay listings, this is a lithographic print which was produced commercially by A&RP Inc., New York , in 1978. This print will look stunning mounted, framed and displayed on a wall in your home. It will be a great addition to any Erte or Art Deco collection. Please Note: If you are outside of the EU please contact for postage costs, before bidding. Where possible, postage costs for multiple purchases are discounted. Every item posted is documented using the normal “proof of postage”. However, any items that sell for more than £30 will only be posted by registered/recorded delivery. This will add approximately £1.50 to the stated priority/first class charges. Items with a starting price of £30 and over will have a P&P price that includes Registered/recorded delivery. This is to protect both parties in the unlikely event of a parcel failing to arrive at its destination address. Due to work commitments I only post out items twice per week and only after Paypal clearance. My work commitments are European wide and at the moment I am stationed in Bulgaria , with only a small amount of leave back home to the UK . Therefore, although I do still post items when I am in the UK , at the moment many items will be posted from Bulgaria . It will be posted priority airmail and there will be no change in the P&P costs to the buyer; however delivery will take a few days longer than is usual. Customer satisfaction is very important to me and I always endeavour to maintain a high standard of service. However, in the unlikely event that you do experience a problem, please contact me first before leaving a neutral/negative feedback and I will endeavour to sort out any issue in a professional and friendly manner. I am happy to answer any questions through an Ebay message. And finally a note for the anoraks: I am not an art/antiques expert or dealer and therefore the term Lithographic print in my listing refers to any and all forms of Lithographic printing (including offset, photo-mechanical, collotype, cliché-verre, chine colle, etc., etc). Unless otherwise stated in the listing, the print will not be a limited edition and will not be hand produced or signed by the artist. Equally important, I can guarantee that it will not be a cheap copy, duplicate or a (made at home on a printer) “giclee” print, as found in many Ebay listings. It will be a commercially produced lithographic print, as detailed, that will grace any room it is displayed in. Please be sure you are happy with the item... read more
