NA. Condition: Used. In the Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of croissants. This is largely due to Elmendorf Baking Supplies and Le Grand Prix Elmendorf du Pain that takes place down the street in June. The latter is a competition where the winner becomes the official supplier of croissants to the French consulate in Boston. And like all Cambridge-based baking competitions, it's got a poster by Kenji Nakayama. This one comes not with a croissant (alas) but with the original sketches and hand-painted films used to make this 3-color silkscreen. Poster is fine, signed, and numbered 18 of 50. The other items are dinged and worn and taped as they were made for production purposes only. 1814 Poster: 14 × 19 inches; The three other items are around that size. Sometimes bigger. Sometimes smaller.
