About This Print

Bring the charm and sophistication of mid-century French design into your home with this striking St. Morand Wine Poster. Originally created to promote “Caves S. Morand,” this vibrant advertisement embodies the playful, graphic style characteristic of commercial art from the era. The use of deep navy blue paired with bold yellow gothic script (“S. Morand”) ensures it stands out in any space, offering a genuine slice of historical commercial art.
A Whimsical Monastic Design
The centerpiece of this captivating piece is the wonderfully stylized, cheerful monk. Clad in serene blue robes and featuring a bright, almost citrus-toned face, he is depicted against a cloud-like base, holding a bottle of Sainmoran and a generous glass of rich red wine. The text “buvez sain… buvez” (drink healthy… drink) suggests a wholesome appeal, typical of period attempts to normalize and elevate wine consumption. This piece, often attributed to the artist André Roland, is a valuable addition to any collection of graphic design or vintage advertising memorabilia.

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.
