Description from the seller

Iconic original Banania poster – rigid cardboard with string (66.5 × 46.5 cm)

Offered in good overall condition, with normal signs of age that confirm its authenticity and vintage charm.

Extraordinary Banania advertising panel made of rigid cardboard, complete with its original cord for display. An absolute classic of 20th-century French graphics, made famous by the unmistakable smiling face and the slogan 'y’a bon... BANANIA.'

Features:
Material: rigid pressed cardboard
Dimensions: 66.5 × 46.5 cm
Printing: vivid colors, original vintage graphics.
Fixing: a cord for hanging (as in the original)

Conditions:
Good overall condition, with minor edge wear, light abrasions, and speckling typical of original advertising panels. No visible restoration, stable surfaces, and excellent image readability. Colors are still very vibrant.

Why is it an important piece?
The Banania character has become one of the most iconic symbols of French advertising, highly sought after by collectors of graphic design, posters, historic advertising, and food memorabilia. The rigid cardboard versions with cords are now rarer than the classic paper posters, precisely because they were designed to be displayed in stores and are often lost or damaged.

Ready to hang and perfect as a vintage decorative piece.
