Item Details
An offset lithographic reproduction of a 1921 advertisement for Kuppenheimer Clothes, originally illustrated by J.C. Leyendecker (1874-1951), the premier American illustrator of his time. This poster depicts a man standing in front of a car, dressed nicely with his ice skates draped over his left shoulder. In the car behind him, a woman and dog wait anxiously. The company’s name and tagline, ‘Good Clothes’, is present in yellow ink to the upper portion of the poster, while text along the left margin reads ‘A service of good appearance. Kuppenheimer good clothes of sterling quality. Longer service that means lower cost, the House of Kuppenheimer Chicago’, in black ink. The poster is mounted beneath a layer of dark matting and is presented behind glass in a black frame with hanging wire present to verso. A window is present to the verso of the frame as well, allowing the viewer to see information about the poster’s reproduction, as well as instructions for displaying the piece during the month of January.
