449. Les Premiers Billards du Monde. ca. 1900.
��� 1 �2 x 31 3 �� in./62.3 x 80.7 cm
Imp. Lemercier, Paris
Cond A-/Unobtrusive folds.
Originally a carriage-making corporation founded by
a Swiss manufacturer in Cincinnati, the Brunswick-
Balke Collender Corporation quickly moved into the
billiards business. Here, a buxom and sassy young
woman is seen leaning over one of their signature
tables, a dapper gentleman taking this opportunity
to get a better view of her assets from behind. While
some would call this leering, the presence of Cupid
puts his activities entirely above board. A rare and
beautiful image by an artist whose signature appears
rather indecipherable (but our best guess is Naredo).
Est: $2,000-$2,500

A tranquil and relaxing view of Lake Geneva, in
which everything from tugs to riverboats are seen
bustling around the waterway. In the distance, grassy
hills followed by the white peaks of Mont Blanc
graze the skyline. Particularly accurate in its detail,
even the Jet d’Eau, a geyser of a fountain propelling
�����������������������������������������������������
air, can be seen to the far left. Originally designed

breaking a host of other records. This is the most

company, showing the Nautilus submarine being
‘birthed’ from a nautilus shell. Such an organic
association with the ship allowed it to be seen
as a body of progress rather than as the world’s
foremost powerful war machine.

A simple but ingenious way of suggesting
autumn, this poster has the letters of the famous
Swiss department store gliding through the chilly
fall air, turning from green to brown. Time for the
latest fall fashions.
