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 from the Editions Bourrelier series "Images de la Vie" It shows a bustling department store with a summery feel. People are trying on sunhats, looking at crockery and riding the escaltors.

These Helene Poirie posters offer beautifully realised scenes with a colour palette very reminiscent of the times in which they were  painted.

The colours are good and the overall condition of this 50+ year old poster is excellent; nothing has encroached into the body of the poster.

The poster measures 72cm x 51cm overall.

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.
