This vintage alcohol advertisement is absolutely charming; with its fantastic use of color and beautiful lettering, it embodies the spirit of the French Belle Époque.

We believe that this alcohol refers to an early version of a liquour known as La Raphaelle. La Raphaelle is a liqueur very similar to the Chartreuse; it is plants based made with over a hundred plants, seeds, flowers, roots, and barks from the Eyguebelle herbarium. It was created to help with stomach aches. The creator of the "La Raphaelle" Brother Raphael was a monk for 8 years before he was kicked out by The Carthusian monks for helping a woman give birth. Raphaelle Liqueur is now known as the aperitif which opens the appetite!

A gorgeous poster which would make the perfect addition to any kitchen, dining room, or any room that would need a punch of colour! This poster is in great condition with minor edge foxing (please see photos). See less
