Relive the Golden Age of Advertising

This exquisite vintage poster captures the sophistication and boldness of early 20th-century Belgian commercial art, advertising the premium liquor, “Bitter Astrid.” Dated likely to the 1920s or early 1930s, this print is a magnificent example of the transition between flowing Art Nouveau lines and the sharp, vibrant geometry of Art Deco. The bold composition uses a deep navy background that contrasts brilliantly with the bright yellow signage and the rich reds and oranges of the central figure, ensuring it remains a striking focal point in any room.

Iconic Art Deco Glamour

The central image features a highly stylized woman, typically referred to as a ‘flapper,’ with short, curled orange hair and dangling jewelry. She is dressed in a sumptuous red gown trimmed with fluffy white fur, symbolizing the luxury and indulgence associated with the product. She is caught mid-sip, delicately holding a stemmed glass of the aperitif, embodying the era’s liberated spirit and fashionable chic. The design prominently features the Bitter Astrid bottle and clusters of stylized grapes, highlighting the drink’s potential bittersweet, fruity flavor profile.
