The Artwork
About This Print
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.

After It Arrives
How to Frame & Display Your Print
Four simple steps, tube to wall — no tools, no specialist knowledge.
-
Unroll & Let It Relax
Remove from the tube and lay face-down on a clean flat surface for 20–30 minutes. The 200 GSM matte stock self-relaxes — any shipping curl releases without heat or moisture.
-
Pick a Standard Frame
Every size matches a standard off-the-shelf frame — IKEA HOVSTA, Target Threshold, Amazon Basics. An 18×24" drops in directly. No trimming, no custom framing.
-
Glass Is Optional
Our matte finish eliminates glare, so hanging without glass often shows more detail — particularly deep blacks and shadow gradients. If you prefer glass, use UV-protective acrylic.
-
Avoid Direct UV Sunlight
Archival pigment inks are rated for 75+ years indoors. Choose a wall with indirect or diffused natural light for the longest possible display life.
