Dauphin

Mounted Attraction, advertising, wine "Les Vins Dauphin", created by the artist Tilyjac around the 1950s. The poster advertises "the Wines of the Dolphin" and uses a multi-layered symbolic design in an imaginative, cubist style. Key Information Artist: Tilyjac Date: Circa 1950s Purpose: An advertisement for Vins Dauphin, a wine from the Dauphiné region in southeastern France. Design Notes: The design is notable for its vibrant use of red, blue, and yellow and features a dolphin wearing a crown. The crown is a reference to "Le Dauphin," the historical title for the heir to the French throne, cleverly tying the brand to its regional history and name.
