Paris 1924 Summer Olympics Original Poster by Jean Droit Exceedingly rare original color 31.25 x 46.5 lithographic poster designed by French artist Jean Droit for the Paris 1924 Summer Olympics. Printed by Machard & Cie, the poster depicts a group of male athletes with their arms raised in salute against a background of France’s national flag, with laurel branches and a shield featuring the Parisian coat-of-arms pictured below. Upper and lower portions of the poster bear large text: “Paris-1924” and “Jeux Olympiques.” Professionally linen-backed, rolled, and expertly restored to fine condition, with some minor surface loss from mounting along the top edge. Of the 150 projects submitted for the official poster of the VIII Olympiad, the French Olympic Committee selected posters from two finalists—Jean Droit and Orsi. Ten thousand copies of each were printed, and of these 20,000 posters, a total of 12,000 were sent abroad and distributed with the help of the National Olympic Committees, Sporting Federations, and Olympic Associations. Those that remained in France were distributed by sporting establishments, theater companies, and travel agencies. A rare and impressive Olympic poster fast approaching its 100th anniversary, which will be celebrated by the triumphant return of the Summer Games to Paris in 2024. Jean Droit was a painter and illustrator (1884-1961) who designed several posters for France during the First World War and several travel posters in the years between the wars.

RENE GRUAU (1909-2004) Rival design for Christian Dior stockings poster, ca. 1959 Mixed media in Indian ink with collage on paper, monogrammed lower left and titled right. Wrinkled paper. Dimensions: at sight 48.5 x 38.5 cm Born Renato Zavagli-Ricciardelle delle Caminate in Rimini, Italy, René Gruau is famous the world over for his legendary fashion illustrations. The great couturier Christian Lacroix said of him, "A successful dress is one that has the sharpness and aplomb of a Gruau painting. His first designs were published in Italy, Germany and England. From 1935 to 1939, he worked with the magazines Femina, Marie-Claire, L'officiel and l'Album du Figaro. 1946 marked his first collaboration with International Textiles, for which he designed all the covers until 1984. But 1947 marked the turning point in his career: his friend Christian Dior, whom he had met in 1930, commissioned him to design the advertising for MISS DIOR perfume, as well as the famous Robe Bar. It was the start of a collaboration that would last more than 40 years and see him illustrate the brand's greatest perfumes and fashion campaigns. According to John Galliano, René Gruau "captured the Dior style and spirit, all in movement and using his three favorite colors: red, black and white". For the rest of his life, he worked for the biggest names in couture and fashion, including Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Balmain, Givenchy, Rochas and Elle.
