Lot description

Adrien Barrere Cinema Pathe 1909 45.125 h x 59.625 w in (115 x 151 cm) Barrere, with his jaundiced eye and deft hand, seldom seemed to illustrate anything without an ironic edge to it, and this poster for Cinema Pathe does not appear to be an exception. "Everyone brings their children there!" says the legend above, as wealthy industrialists and military officers and their children (all in exceptionally vibrant colors) watch a parade of wealthy industrialists and military officers on the silver screen, in what might be a promotion for Cinema Pathe's new home motion-picture-camera technology. Founder Charles Pathe was the first international cinema mogul, and from the company's inception through World War I, he helped produce more film footage than all other European and American producers combined. Affiches Robert, Paris Literature: Celebrites, 151; PAI-XC, 112 This work will ship from Lambertville, New Jersey.
