About the Item
Bold and impactful, this original circa 1920 poster for Chambéry Dolin proclaims with authority the legacy of a brand that revolutionized French aperitifs. Declaring “Inventeur du Vermouth de Chambéry,” the design exemplifies early 20th-century commercial poster art in its most confident form—featuring sharp geometric typography in striking yellow against a deep blue background. There are no frills, no images—just bold letters shouting a proud claim of invention and heritage.
The visual language is industrial, modernist, and uncompromising—designed to be seen from a distance and remembered. It reflects a time when advertising was direct and unapologetically proud of regional invention and identity. Dolin, based in the alpine city of Chambéry, remains one of the oldest and most respected producers of vermouth, a fortified wine infused with botanicals that gained global prominence thanks in part to campaigns like this one.
Printed by Imp. Générale in Grenoble and produced by the local firm "Savoie Publicité," this piece is more than an advertisement—it's a historic emblem of local pride, product innovation, and early brand strategy. Perfect for collectors of French ephemera, vintage typography, or beverage history, this poster is a rare surviving witness to a golden era of bold graphic communication.

Circa 1915 French wartime propaganda original poster of World War I
Located in PARIS, FR
This circa 1915 French wartime propaganda poster is a striking example of World War I-era rationing efforts, emphasizing collective sacrifice and equitable distribution. Designed under the direction of the Comité de Prévoyance et d’Économies, this poster encouraged the French population to ration essential goods, particularly sugar, during the war.
At the heart of the artwork is a symbolic sugar loaf, partially cut by a saber, visually reinforcing the message of dividing resources fairly. The text reads:
"Avec la carte, nous en aurons peu – mais nous en aurons tous."
("With the ration card, we will have little – but we will all have some.")
This message aimed to instill a sense of national solidarity and compliance with rationing policies. The lower inscription, "Casse aujourd’hui ton sucre en deux pour en avoir demain?" ("Break your sugar in half today to have some tomorrow?"), serves as a direct appeal to personal responsibility in wartime resource management.
The bold yet simple color scheme (blue, red, black, and beige) gives the poster a striking visual identity, making it both an effective propaganda piece and a historically significant artifact.
This rare wartime poster is a powerful reminder of civilian resilience and the role of public cooperation in wartime economies. Due to its historical importance and striking design, it remains highly collectible, particularly among WWI memorabilia...
