About the Item

Advertising has always been a captivating reflection of its time, and the 1911 Quinquina Bonnet aperitif poster by PB, a French wine-based aperitif advertisement, is no exception. This timeless work of art showcases the merging of past and present, making it a true classic in the world of vintage advertising. While the true identity of the artist behind the 1911 Quinquina Bonnet poster remains a mystery, their initials, "PB," will forever be associated with this striking piece. The design choice of the poster takes us back to the turn of the century, invoking a sense of nostalgia and retro charm. The poster captures a bygone era with its featured character - a man dressed in a turn-of-the-century tuxedo, complete with the now out-of-fashion "side whiskers," a style known for its elaborate facial hair. The deliberate choice to harken back to earlier poster designs from the turn of the century adds a unique charm to the advertisement, making it an authentic "retro" piece. Set against a bold red background, the singular figure commands attention. This visual choice not only pays homage to the vintage aesthetics but also infuses a contemporary edge to the piece. The poster successfully balances between being a homage to the past and a work that's relevant in its own right. The Quinquina Bonnet aperitif poster is a testament to the enduring appeal of vintage advertising. It encapsulates the essence of a bygone era while retaining a certain timelessness that resonates with modern audiences. The deliberate fusion of past and present in this artwork demonstrates the power of design and aesthetics in conveying a message that transcends time. In conclusion, the 1911 Quinquina Bonnet aperitif poster by PB is a captivating piece of vintage advertising. With its homage to the turn-of-the-century aesthetic and the inclusion of a character sporting "side whiskers," this artwork embodies the charm of a bygone era. Its bold red background and singular focus on the character provide a contemporary twist to the retro piece, making it an enduring classic in the world of vintage advertising.

"Quinquina Dubonnet" Original Jules Cheret Maitre de l'Affiche
By Jules Chéret
Located in Hinsdale, IL
CHERET, JULES (1836 - 1932) "Quinquina Dubonnet" Original lithograph from “Les Maitres de L’Affiche” series Printed by Imprimerie Chaix, Paris Bearing MDL stamp lower right, from issue #28, 1898. Plate #109 Unframed Size: 11 3/8 x 15 3/4” The “Les Maitres de l’Affiche” series was offered as a subscription series to collectors every month for 60 months, from December 1895 through November 1900. The “Maitres de l’Affiche,” were issued as separate numbered sheets, referred to as “plates”. They were numbered, with the printers name “Imprimerie Chaix,” in the margin at the bottom left hand corner, “PL.1” to “PL.240.” In the margin at the bottom right hand corner of each, is a blind embossed stamp from a design of Cheret’s. The smaller format and the fact the “Maitres” were a paid subscription series, allowed Imprimerie Chaix to use the latest state of the art printing techniques, not normally used in the large format posters due to cost. A very high quality of paper was used, where as the large format posters were printed on lesser quality newsprint, due to cost and a short expected life span. This explains why the quality of the printing, in the “Maitres de l’Affiche,” usually far exceeds that of their larger counterparts. “The Dubonnet poster...
