Cappiello Torrilhon Tyres 1906

Cappiello Torrilhon Tyres 1906

Leonetto Cappiello1906

Torrilhon began as a dry-goods shop in Clermont-Ferrand and was making waterproofed rubber goods by 1852, and by 1906 its mascot was a devil. The company was active until 1937. It moved into tyre production as the automobile market expanded. That year it commissioned Leonetto Cappiello (1875 to 1942) to design this poster, and Vercasson & Cie of Paris lithographed it. Cappiello's method was one bold figure on a black ground, with no decorative scaffolding.

On the poster

A crimson devil's head, framed within a silver-grey tyre ring, looks out from a flat black ground. It has small horns, pointed ears, green cat-like eyes and two thin feelers rising above the rim. Below, "PNEUMATIQUES TORRILHON" (Torrilhon tyres) is set in bold yellow slab-serif type, with "CLERMONT-FERRAND" in red capitals beneath.

Our restoration process

History has wrinkles. We have standards.

A century or two can be unkind to a poster. Folds, tears, stains, fading and the occasional indignity of terrible storage.

Each print begins with historic artwork, carefully restored using the latest digital tools and restoration techniques. Damage is addressed, colours refined and details recovered, while respecting the original composition, lettering and character.

The result? All the charm of the original, without having to live with its unfortunate accidents.

Paper and print details

Good art deserves good paper.

Each poster is printed to order using professional giclée printing techniques and archival pigment inks on 200gsm enhanced matte fine art paper.

The natural white, smooth matte finish reduces glare while bringing out rich colours and crisp detail. The inks are designed for excellent lightfastness, helping the artwork retain its colour for years to come.
