La Cressonnee Anisette 1923 Vintage French Art Deco Art Print

Emerging from the height of the Roaring Twenties, this 1923 illustration captures the whimsical spirit of French beverage advertising. The composition centers on a woman in an oversized white gown, her blue parasol shielding her as she lifts a glass of yellow liqueur. Beside her, a large bottle stands atop an ornate stone fountain in This print, where water spills from a carved lion. The dark, saturated background allows the vibrant yellow lettering and the warm glow of the liquor to stand out, creating a balanced and visually engaging scene characteristic of Paul Mohr’s work.

The artwork evokes a sense of lighthearted Parisian elegance and the playful sophistication of the Art Deco era. It represents a time when advertising was an art form, designed to celebrate the finer things in life through bold characters and imaginative settings. The contrast between the heavy stone fountain and the airy, flowing dress of the central figure creates a dynamic tension that draws the eye, suggesting a lifestyle of leisure and refinement that feels both historical and strangely modern.

This poster keeps good company with art deco advertising posters, and pairs without effort with retro bar wall art.
