Cognac Sauvion

by J. Stall, Printed 1925 in France, Original Lithograph on cardboard

A playful poster featuring a Pierrot popping out from a solid black background. This example was printed on cardboard or ‘carton’ as it is called in France. The piece has a string looped through grommets at the top. These window cards were designed to hang in store windows or directly on cash registers as ‘point of purchase’ advertising.
