Leonetto Cappiello Prints
French, 1875-1942
Leonetto Cappiello was born in 1875 in Livorno, Italy, but took on the nationality of French in 1930. He first achieved fame as a caricaturist, then by inventing the modern poster and creating the first brand logos, including the green devil for Maurin Quina. A self-taught artist, he created his first paintings in 1886. In November of 1900, he signed his first contract with the publisher P. Vercasson, for whom he produced posters from 1902 to 1913. After World War I he joined the publisher Devambez, for whom he worked until 1936. In 1922, his poster sketches were exhibited at the Venice Biennial and the French Institut in New York. In 1928 his “Self Portrait” was ordered by the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy. In 1936 he participated in the Milan Triennial and the Exhibition of the French Poster in Prague. After his death in 1942, Cappiello’s work was the subject of retrospectives at the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris in 1947, the House of Culture in Livorno, Italy, in 1960 and the Grand Palais in Paris in 1981. to

Additional Details:
The headquarters Mossant was founded in 1833 by Casimir Mossant.
The company is developing thanks in particular to the development of the railway, which allows for distant supplies and expeditions.
In the 1920s, the firm Mossant is at its peak. The factory employs 1,200 workers and produces up to 2000 hats per day, nearly half of which is in the United States.
After 1929, the economic crisis affected exports and the company diversified its production of felt (bags, berets, ...). Hat manufacturing activity declined and, in the 1950s, the factory's activity was converted into apparel until 1985, when the company was wound up.

Original ‘Absinthe’ Canvas Poster by Leonetto Cappiello, Circa 1906
By Leonetto Cappiello
Located in Vancouver, British Columbia
Rare, original, canvas-backed ‘absinthe’ printing from 1906, by renowned artist Leonetto Cappiello, for a French alcohol called “Maurin Quina.” On this poster is depicted a mischievous, green, imp-like spirit, looking rather pleased as he de-corks his bottle. Absinthe was highly addictive and contained worm wood. The original Absinthe was said to destroy the brain and cause madness.
Absinthe was created in Neuchâtel in Switzerland in the late 18th century by the French doctor Pierre Ordinaire. It rose to great popularity as an alcoholic drink in late 19th- and early 20th-century France, particularly among Parisian artists and writers. The consumption of absinthe was opposed by social conservatives and prohibitionists, partly due to its association with bohemian culture. From Europe and the Americas, notable absinthe drinkers included Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce, Lewis Carroll, Charles Baudelaire, Paul Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
