This vibrant and eye-catching 1921 advertising poster by Gautolai promotes Cognac aux Oeufs "Aurore", a rich and indulgent egg-based liqueur. The artwork is a stunning example of early 20th-century commercial illustration, blending a mix of bold typography, striking colors, and playful imagery to create a visually compelling advertisement.
At the center of the composition, a majestic rooster stands proudly next to a hen sitting on a nest of eggs, symbolizing the fresh and high-quality ingredients used in the production of this luxurious French cognac-based liqueur. The sunburst background with the name "Aurore" (meaning "Dawn" in French) suggests a new beginning, reinforcing the idea of energy, warmth, and vitality—qualities associated with both eggs and cognac.
The typography is bold and elegant, with "Cognac aux Oeufs" in large, commanding letters, drawing immediate attention to the product. Below, the poster credits F. Roessinger & Cie, Geneva, as the exclusive distributor, emphasizing its prestige. The hand-drawn lettering and lithographic printing reflect the craftsmanship of the time, making this poster a collectible piece of Art Deco-era advertising.
A beautiful example of vintage French liquor advertising, this poster encapsulates the charm and artistry of early 20th-century commercial design, appealing to both graphic design enthusiasts and collectors of classic beverage advertisements.
