The Iconic 1925 Anisetta Evangelisti Advertisement

Step back into the vibrant world of 1920s Italian advertising with this captivating poster for Anisetta Evangelisti Liquore da Dessert. Likely created by the renowned artist Carlo Biscaretti di Ruffia, this masterpiece of commercial art captures the whimsical, often surprising nature of early 20th-century marketing. The design is bold, utilizing a striking mustard-yellow background that makes the red and white typography pop and the deep black fur of the subject stand out.

Whimsical Retro Charm

The central element is a highly detailed, slightly smug-looking chimpanzee perched atop a wooden crate, happily enjoying a bottle of the famous anise-flavored dessert liqueur. This unusual and eye-catching juxtaposition made the original advertisement instantly memorable and effective. The poster highlights the brand’s identity, Ditta L. Evangelisti, based in Sant’Elpidio a Mare (Marche), Italy. It’s an essential piece for collectors of vintage beverage advertisements, retro Art Deco styles, or anyone looking to infuse their kitchen, bar area, or living room with historical character and vibrant color.
