The Artwork
About This Print
A Purrfectly Surreal Piece of Advertising History
Dive into the playful and slightly bizarre world of early 20th-century marketing with this incredible Catz Bitters vintage advertisement. Originally promoting the liqueur manufactured by Cats & Zoon in Groningen (Holland), this poster captures the essence of classic Art Deco design combined with surreal humor.
The visual impact is immediate: a striking silhouette of a black cat dominates the deep blue background, its bright yellow eyes fixing the viewer. Above it, an elegant hand, impeccably dressed with a white cuff and gold cufflink, pours from a dark bottle. The “bitters” are graphically represented by small, spotted kittens plummeting into a sparkling, golden cocktail glass, illustrating the product’s essential role in mixing drinks. The bold yellow text—“Mix Your Drinks with Catz Bitters”—reinforces the message.
This poster is not just a reproduction; it is a conversation starter. Its rich colors and bold, graphic style make it an ideal statement piece for a home bar, kitchen, living room, or retail space. Whether you are a lover of vintage European advertising, a cocktail enthusiast, or simply captivated by black cat imagery, this piece adds a unique blend of elegance and eccentricity to your decor.

75-Year Archival Inks
Fade-resistant pigment inks rated for 75+ years of indoor display — the same technology used in professional photography studios and fine art galleries.

All sizes shown to scale — portrait & landscape orientations
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.
