About the Item

This rare and highly collectible original advertising poster from circa 1900 was created by the prolific Italian-French poster artist Tamagno for Kina-Cadet, an aperitif produced by the Union des Distillateurs de France. The poster depicts an elegantly dressed man with auburn hair and a confident, almost mischievous expression as he raises a glass of Kina-Cadet. His gaze is directed toward the viewer, inviting them to share in his appreciation of this celebrated drink. The sophisticated setting, with its ornate patterned backdrop and carved wood counter, enhances the aura of French fin-de-siècle luxury and bourgeois conviviality. Tamagno's mastery of portraiture and typography shines in this design. The rich browns, reds, and golds evoke warmth and refinement, while the bold lettering of "Kina-Cadet le meilleur des apéritifs" asserts the brand's claim as the best of all aperitifs. Tamagno, known for his advertising work for brands such as Dubonnet, Byrrh, and Pippermint, often infused his posters with narrative character and direct viewer engagement, making them instantly memorable in the streets of Paris and beyond. This poster was printed by the famed Imp. Camis in Paris, renowned for their high-quality lithographic prints. Kina-Cadet, like many quinquina-based apéritifs of the time, was promoted for both its pleasurable taste and its medicinal tonic properties due to its quinine content. Today, this piece is prized not only for its graphic beauty but also for its documentation of Belle Époque advertising aesthetics. Perfect for collectors of vintage drinks posters, bar and restaurant decor, or lovers of Tamagno's confident, narrative-driven style.
