Sam has been specialising in original vintage posters since the early 90’s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have been obsessed with these amazing vintage posters for some time, and for us a visit to Melbourne isn't complete without a visit to see Sam \u0026amp; Simone and their incredible collection. As you might imagine, it is difficult to come home empty-handed after a visit to their store. So, when they suggested sending some posters across the ditch to us here in Wellington, naturally we couldn't say yes fast enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does original mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAs their name says Vintage Posters Only \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eonly\u003c\/span\u003e deal in original vintage posters – never reproductions!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn poster lingo, the term ‘original’ refers to a poster that’s an authentic, \u003cem\u003efirst-run copy from the time it was created\u003c\/em\u003e, not a reproduction or modern print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesigned by Alain Grée for Électricité de France (EDF), INTERFERME promotes the modernisation of French agriculture through the adoption of electric-powered farming equipment. Featuring Grée's signature geometric style and cheerful character design, the poster captures the optimism of post-war France and stands as a striking example of mid-century French graphic design.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear: \u003c\/strong\u003e1961\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/strong\u003e160cm tall x 120cm wide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\/Media: \u003c\/strong\u003eOriginal lithograph, linen backed \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e*Posters come unframed but if you are local to Wellington we would be happy to help you with framing suggestions. Equally, we think they look great pinned to the wall if this works for you.

Their increasing value is attributed to their age, making them sought-after pieces in the collector's world. Their scarcity further amplifies their appeal; imagine, only a limited number were printed for city wall advertisements, and even fewer survived to the present day. This scarcity makes these posters unique, coveted additions to collections, often disappearing into private archives. These posters are also recognised as a unique art form, with hardly any similar originals in existence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese first-run copies were often printed from maquettes – small-scale mockups, usually done by hand, that served as blueprints for the final design. Once the maquette was approved, the design was scaled up for full-size printing, typically using lithography. This method, the most common at the time, allowed for mass production of posters with vivid colours and sharp details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tabs-1\" class=\"ui-tabs-panel ui-widget-content ui-corner-bottom\" role=\"tabpanel\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vintage Posters Only","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50863813984495,"sku":null,"price":2500.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2169\/6563\/files\/VPO_InterfermebyAlainGree_HERO_2000x_358db6c3-5c9a-4a53-bf65-3d12587a4ce8.webp?v=1789966073","url":"https:\/\/www.smallacorns.co.nz\/products\/vintage-posters-only-interferme-by-alain-gree","provider":"Small Acorns","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
