How to Care for Your Print
Follow these steps to keep your print looking gallery fresh for decades.
Handling
Allow rolled prints to relax flat for 30 to 60 minutes. Handle by the edges with clean, dry hands and avoid touching the printed surface.
Placement
Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources and high humidity areas. North facing walls receive less UV. Use LED or incandescent lighting instead of fluorescent.
Framing
Use acid free mats and UV protective glass or acrylic for maximum longevity. Leave a small gap between print and glazing for airflow.
Cleaning
Dust framed glass with a soft cloth. Spray the cloth, not the glass. For unframed prints, use a dry microfibre cloth and never apply liquids to the surface.
Climate
Keep temperature at 18 to 24 degrees C and humidity at 40 to 60 percent. Avoid attics, basements and garages where conditions swing widely.
Storage
Store flat in acid free folders, interleaved with tissue paper, in a cool dark place. Never fold. Check stored prints annually.
⚠️ Avoid
- Prolonged direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting.
- Bathrooms, kitchens and areas above heat sources.
- Tape, adhesives or liquids applied directly to the print.
- Rolling with the image facing inward as this can crack the ink layer.
- Extreme or rapid temperature and humidity changes.
📊 Expected Lifespan
- 100+ years when framed with UV protective glazing and indirect light.
- 50 to 75 years when framed with standard glass and indirect light.
- 25 to 50 years when stored correctly in darkness.
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.
Perfect for Vintage Collectors
Whether you are decorating a dedicated home bar, adding a touch of elegance to a dining area, or collecting classic European ephemera, this high-quality reproduction of the Bitter Astrid advertisement serves as a historical and artistic treasure. Printed with modern fidelity to preserve the original lithographic colors and textures, this poster brings the luxurious aesthetic of vintage Belgian advertising right into your space. The original was produced by “Affiches D’Art Léon Beyaert – Sioen-Courtrai,” a sign of quality vintage printing.
