Hart Schaffner & Marx Fine Clothes for Men
Original antique advertising poster for Hart Schaffner & Marx - Makers of Fine Clothes for Men - Chicago Boston New York. Great design by Samuel Nelson Abbott (1874-1953) showing a well dressed man wearing a period suit and hat, sitting on a wheelbarrow in a garden and looking at a parchment, with an older man looking over his shoulder and a younger man sweeping in the background, the text below in red and black letters between two decorative flower boxes, a golden layer in the sky and on the outside border. The American menswear company Hart Schaffner & Marx dates back to 1872 established by two brothers, their brothers-in-law and cousin; these early advertisements established the company as a premium brand for quality clothing at lower prices; Hartmarx Corporation now specialises in men's and women's clothing and sportswear. Very good condition, restored minor tears, backed on linen.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All antique and vintage posters listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Most of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves drawing a reverse image of each colour 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, I 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 £35 for orders placed via our website.
