Ferdinand Blanchet - Ferdinand Blanchet - La Mascotte - 1900s

You are bidding on a rare and fully authentic poster that is more than 100 years old !
« This enormous poster was created sometime between 1895 and 1910. It's a typographer's paradise and it's obvious that the artist wanted to the writing to play a key role in this advertisement - we count at least 13 different font styles! This highly decorative and colourful work is a great example of the style of the day, when artists were freely experimenting with the innovative new print medium, the advertising poster. It's essentially an enormous La Mascotte bottle label, being almost identical what's on the bottle. " A glass before each meal stimulates the appetite" claims the young, traditionally dressed woman holding a tiny glass of the liquor while rubbing her stomach ».

Condition : as per pictures. The paper is extremely fragile and easily torn and should be handled with care and linen back and restored to find back its original splendor !

The poster will be rolled delicately and shipped in a sturdy and rigid tube for perfect transport condition.
Happy bidding to those looking for a rare piece of art that will make a huge statement in their home!
