Philips - Teacher and Pupils is a c.1960 French advertisement for Philips by Guy Georget (1911-1992). The artwork depicts a school scene of lightbulb headed children receiving their lesson from the teacher. The blackboard reads "Philips lamp is safer and not more expensive." A child shows his notes to the teacher that reads, "10 Watts Minimum."

Guy Georget first entered the poster advertising world in the late 1940's. His first artworks for travel posters exhibited a clear Picasso/Matisse influence. In 1960, Georget designed the logo for La Poste, the French national postal service. Other major clients included Air France and Philips, for which he created the lightbulb head figures depicted in this poster as well as others for Philip.

What People Are Saying...

  • If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

  • Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

  • The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
