Pullman Editions designs striking original limited-edition posters which capture the enduring appeal of Art Deco. Their newly-commissioned posters feature the world’s greatest historic automobiles, glamorous resorts around the world and winter sports in the Austrian, French and Swiss Alps.
Pullman Editions’ house artist, Charles Avalon, famed for his Art Deco automobile posters, has produced the majority of the artworks for Pullman’s limited editions, including the 5 Concours posters depicted here.
Poster display was never more inspired than in the Art Deco period. Posters, once described as ‘a visual shout’, proved an attractive, effective means of promotion and ‘at-a-glance’ display. Initially produced by Swiss and French railway companies, these decorative advertising posters graced station platforms and billboards to persuade affluent and adventurous travellers to enjoy the newly-fashionable modern luxury travel. The vast majority of these classic posters were destroyed when replaced by other posters, and the handful of surviving vintage posters today fetch dramatic prices.
To meet demand from both enthusiastic collectors and admirers of Art Deco, for stylish, decorative yet affordable original posters, Pullman Editions opened its London gallery in 2010.
Available in strictly limited editions of 280, Pullman Editions’ posters are printed using traditional techniques on the finest quality 100 cotton fine art paper. The posters measure 97 x 65 cms (38 x 26 inches), and are supplied unframed in robust tubes which can be shipped worldwide. There are currently over 100 designs to choose from, all of which are available to view and buy online at www.pullmaneditions.com

The 2014 Concours of Elegance poster was created by Anna-Louise Felstead, a New York based Londoner famed for her ink on paper style.
A graduate of St Martins School of Art and the Royal College of Art, her many historic car commissions are matched by her passion for driving: she recently took part in the Historic Monte Carlo Rally where she drove a 1957 Alfa Giulietta Ti and is about to get her National B racing licence. www.alfelstead.com
