Philips Light Bulb
Original vintage advertising poster for Philips light bulbs featuring a fun design by Frank Nanninga (1920-1999) depicting a cartoon lightbulb with arms and legs, a smiling face and blonde hair, holding a fluorescent tube lightbulb glowing on the dark blue background with the Philips logo above and title text Philips in bold yellow lettering below. The Dutch company Philips was founded in the Netherlands in 1891 by father and son Frederik and Gerard Philips and is one of the largest lighting manufacturers in the world; the Philips shield logo was introduced in 1938 and used in varying designs until 2013; the company's lamp and lights division Philips Lighting became an independent company in 2016 and was renamed Signify N.V. in 2018. Very good condition, folds, minor tear in bottom left corner.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All our antique and vintage posters, books, maps and prints listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Practically all of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves carving each colour of the image onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, we believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
We ship posters worldwide rolled in shock-resistant and hard wearing tubes. Unless specified otherwise, delivery is free within the UK and standard international delivery is £25 for orders placed via our website.
