About Lincoln Domination is a beautiful double-sided sheet of original color illustrations on ivory-colored paper, realized by the French Art Nouveau artist, René Vincent, at the beginning of the XX century, a vintage illustration of automobile advertising from a newspaper. Signed on plate on lower right margin on the verso. In excellent conditions: as good as new! René Vincent (1879–1936) The French illustrator, active in the 1920s-1930s, worked according to the Art Deco style and canons, and became famous for his poster designs. After having studied at the Ècole des Beaux-Arts, he became the illustrator for La Vie Parisienne, The Saturday Evening Post, L'Illustration and Fantiso. He created advertisements for Bugatti, Peugeot, Michelin, and Shell Oil Company. His most recognizable work is the 1925 Porto Ramos Pinto poster. Occasionally he went by the pseudonym Rageot. Vincent was a great lover of cars, so as a result he was one of the first French citizens to have a driver's license and was also one of the first Parisians to have a garage built onto his house.

Advertising is one of the oldest art forms developed by man, brought on by the necessities of early consumerism. It dates way back to 4000 BC when the Indians used wall paintings as an equivalent to the modern-day billboards, as well as the Egyptians, ancient Greeks and Romans who used papyrus as support for sales messages. In this note and seeing as the winter holidays are approaching, we have put together a series of vintage commercials to get you into the holiday spirit.

Some genuinely nice British cigarette cards mostly from the early 20th century. These are the back sides of cards with advertisements which are often far more decorative than the fronts. See more of this collection of cigarette and tobacco cards at cigcardpix flickr site. Some very fine examples there.
