[Genio Scott].22 7/8” x 18 1/4” poster advertising “American Fashions Fall & Winter 1866, 67 by Genio C. Scott, No 171 Broadway New York.” Wonderfully illustrated with twenty-two color drawings of the seasons’ fashions. .
Genio Columbus Scott began his career in the fashion periodical business in New York City, publishing Scott’s Report of Fashions and The Monitor of Fashion. He also owned a clothing store on Broadway called Fashions. However, his true love was fly fishing. He wrote Fishing in American Waters (1875), illustrating it with 170 of his own pencil sketches. Extremely Fine.
1899, Paris, France. Stock certificate for 1 share. Multi-colored vignette designed by Lucien Metivet of an angel appearing to the girl photographs. Border vignettes of the pioneers Niepce and Daguerre, and the arms of Paris. This may be the first company formed for colorphotography; it's certainly the earlies known to scripophily. Lucient Metivet (1863 - 1932) born in Paris was a famous painter, poster-artist and designer. He studied at the Academie Julien with Gustave Boulanger and Jules Joseph Lefebve, then at the Atelier Cormon. From 1889 to 1891 he participated in the Salon de la Societe des Artistes francais. He illustrated books for the publishing houses of Dentu, Plon, Ollendorf and Flammarion, and designed sheet music for Enoch et Cie. Metivet also collaborated on the decoration of the Taverne de Paris. "M. Lucien Metivet is a man of fantasy with his pencil. His stories are good, and are part of a very clever journalism. The commentaries on the affairs of the day which M. Metivet gives each week in the early pages of 'Rire', his 'bits and pieces' in 'Le Journal' show a great suppleness of spirit. But they are poorly served by a drawing skill of an amazing virtuoisty, especially when he wishes to express himself in grand satire, and reaches symbolicimportance." (Carco). A graphic classic! Uncancelled and Excellent.
