Original stone-lithograph plate printed circa 1896 at Imprimerie Chaix (Paris) for Les Affiches Illustrées. This plate presents Eugène Grasset’s elegant advertising design for Encre Marquet, a French ink manufacturer. Grasset, one of the pioneers of Art Nouveau, was celebrated for his graceful line work, flattened color harmonies, and stylized decorative compositions that drew on medieval and Japanese sources. His poster for Encre Marquet exemplifies this refined approach, transforming a simple commercial product into a work of artistic sophistication.
Les Affiches Illustrées (1896–1899) was one of the earliest journals devoted exclusively to poster art, issued in limited numbers for collectors. Published under the artistic direction of Jules Chéret at the Chaix atelier, each issue contained stone-lithograph reductions of major affiches, printed on fine paper using the same techniques as the large-format originals. These plates offered collectors access to authentic poster art by the leading designers of the Belle Époque in a more practical and collectible format.
Grasset’s Encre Marquet remains an iconic example of French poster design in the 1890s, combining functionality, elegance, and the stylistic innovation that defined Art Nouveau.

Campari Soda by Giovanni Mingozzi 1950 on linen excellent
Carlo Mingozzi’s 1950 Campari Soda poster highlights the brand’s distinctive bottle, originally designed by Futurist artist Fortunato Depero in 1932. As the world’s first pre-mixed alcoholic beverage, Campari Soda came in a unique, single-serve bottle shaped like an inverted goblet. Mingozzi’s design emphasizes this form by placing the bottle next to a matching glass, drawing attention to their triangular shapes.
The minimalist composition follows the Object Poster style, which focuses solely on the product without additional slogans. A subtle gray border echoes the bottle’s design, reinforcing its visual impact. Mingozzi’s work blends artistic simplicity with effective advertising, making it a memorable example of mid-century poster design.

In 1980, Champagne Castellane reissued a special commemorative series of its most famous poster designs to celebrate its advertising legacy. This smaller-format edition (16 x 24 inches) was printed directly by Castellane in France using offset lithography and faithfully reproduces the original design by Leonetto Cappiello. The poster is in excellent condition, mounted on quality paper, and was part of the official limited promotional campaign issued by the champagne house.
Description and History
Leonetto Cappiello (1875–1942) was one of the most celebrated poster artists of the early 20th century, often called the father of modern advertising. Known for his bold colors and whimsical compositions, Cappiello revolutionized commercial art by replacing the elaborate Art Nouveau style with striking, simplified imagery focused on single, memorable figures.
Cappiello’s Champagne de Castellane poster design originally dates from the early 20th century and features his trademark dynamic energy—a joyful, celebratory spirit perfectly suited to the brand’s refined image. Castellane, one of France’s oldest Champagne houses founded in Épernay in 1895, became renowned for its distinctive red diagonal stripe label and its association with French elegance and festivity.
The 1980 reissue by Castellane served both as a tribute to the golden age of poster art and as an homage to Cappiello’s enduring influence on advertising and design.
