Discover the Treasure of Vintage French Advertising

Step back in time with this captivating reproduction of a classic French advertising poster for Quinquina Royal, an acclaimed aperitif wine. Dated likely from the 1920s or 1930s, this artwork embodies the dramatic flair and distinctive graphic style of the era. The illustration depicts a theatrical moment where two figures—presumably treasure hunters or thieves—open a strongbox, only to find a glowing bottle of Quinquina Royal instead of gold coins (‘Pas de Galette’). The accompanying text, “Quinquina Royal Est Un Vrai Trésor” (Quinquina Royal is a Real Treasure), delivers a witty marketing message.
