Ducretet Thomson Radio Receiver The Voice Of The World Boucher
Original vintage French advertising poster for Ducretet Thomson The Voice Of The World In Every Home / La "Voix Du Monde" Dans Chaque Foyer. Great illustration by the French artist Pierre Boucher (1908-2000) featuring a black and white photograph of a radio in the foreground in a stylised room design with a farm worker holding a hay fork over one shoulder and his jacket over his other shoulder, walking below white clouds in a clear blue sky towards the door, the text above and below with a list of radio broadcasts on the side including cours agricoles, causeries, musique, chants, theatre, bourse, reportages / agricultural courses, talk shows, music and singing, theatre, money and financial markets, and news reports. The award winning notable French scientist Eugene Adrien Ducretet (1844-1915) opened his first workshop in 1864 producing scientific instruments and apparatus; in 1931 the company was sold to Thomson-Houston. Large size. Good condition, restored tears and minor paper losses on margins, backed on linen.

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.
