French advertising poster for an anise-flavored liqueur called Fap'Anis, created by the artist or collective known as Delval around the 1920s-1930s. The text "Celui des Connaisseurs" translates to "The One for Connoisseurs".
Product Information
Product: Fap'Anis, a type of pastis or anise liqueur.
Origin: France. The drink was created in the 1930s as a legal alternative to absinthe after the latter was banned in France in 1915.
Artist: Artwork is credited to "Delval," which some sources suggest was a collective of intellectuals who initially conceived the advertisement as a social satire before the drink was actually manufactured due to public demand.
Design: The poster is an Art Deco design featuring a stylish woman, reportedly the famous dancer Gaby Deslys, holding a glass of the liqueur with a view of the French Riviera coastline in the background. The entire scene in the poster is cleverly repeated on the bottle label within the image. |
