One sheet vintage advertising poster for Kinagin, a Swiss liquor. The drink is a fortified aperitif, specifically a gin mixed with vermouth and quinine.
Poster Information
Artist: The poster was created by the Swiss graphic artist Eugène Patkevitch, also known as E. Patké, who typically signed his work with his initials "Ep" in the upper left.
Date: It was created around 1941.
Style: The design is a standout example of mid-century Swiss advertising, blending Art Deco elements with playful surrealism. The bold, caricatured red figure with the large nose humorously gazing into the glass is a signature feature.
Producer: The product was commissioned by Kübler & Cie., a distiller based in Travers, Switzerland.
Text: The French text at the bottom reads "le vermouth au quina et au gin," which translates to "the vermouth with quinine and gin". |
