Escargots

Mounted French 1 panel advertising poster for Escargots Menetrel, created by the artist Rudd around the 1930s. Poster Details Artist: The French illustrator known as Rudd designed the poster. Company: It advertises the Ménetrel company, which was founded in 1883 and sourced its snails "Aux Parcs de Bourgogne" (from the parks of Burgundy). Message: The text prominently features the words "ESCARGOTS Menetrel" and "EXQUIS! EXQUIS!" (Exquisite! Exquisite!), along with "MAISON FONDÉE EN 1883" (House founded in 1883). Design: The Art Deco-era design uses bold, contrasting colors (a bright red leaf against a vibrant blue background) and a playful illustration of a chef eagerly anticipating the snail delicacy.
