Vintage French School Print - Helen Poirie - The Bedroom

This vintage French Classroom Print dates from the 1950's and is by Helene Poirie. It's a lithograph print with beautiful bright colours printed on a thick, off-white paper and is a unique print for the walls of a vintage inspired room.

The bottom corner has the signature of Helene Poirie, a French illustrator who worked from the mid 1940's to the early 1970's on a variety of books and educational materials.

This poster is number 17 from the Editions Bourrelier series "Images de la Vie" This one is called La Chambre des Enfants, The Children's Bedroom and shows a mother and small girl in a child's bedroom. The mother is brushing the child's hair whilst she stands on a chair. It's a beautifully realised scene with a muted colour palette very reminiscent of the times in which is was painted..

The colours are good and the overall condition of this 50+ year old poster is excellent. There are nibbles to the edges but nothing has encroached into the body of the poster.

The poster measures 75cm x 55cm overall - the image is 72cm x 52cm.

These Helene Poirie prints are increasingly hard to find and are rare survivors of a bygone age. They look stunning framed and on a wall. This original vintage poster is sent unframed, rolled in a strong cardboard tube.
