France issued some nifty poster-style advertising on postcards. Many of them
celebrate a different area or location that Air France serviced so the designs are linked
to the geography. This card is for the "Orient--Extreme-Orient" and uses
bold beautiful colors and the design of an exotic bird. This issue is from the first

'poster' look. Un, EX $65.00 |

poster card for a book and graphical arts exhibition in Leipzig in 1914 is to be sold with
the card directly below. It takes a little scrutiny to see why. The card below
is a parody of the official card issued for the event. Note the comic features of
the man and the bird on the card below. Although these cards are difficult to come
by, other sets (for other events) exist. Over the years I have only seen three
different pairs put together but I am sure there are others. Un, EX $300.00 for set of 2 cards |

I am labeling as the 'parody' card in this set may have even more interest for someone
with in-depth knowledge of the subject. On the back of the card it states that the
original of the drawing is the frontispiece of "Bliemchen u. die Bugra." Could
this be a book illustration also? Would love to hear from anyone with more info. Un, very light
