The dramatic imagery features Cappiello’s signature "infernal" motif—a mischievous green devil uncorking a bottle—an aesthetic nod to la fée verte, the famed “green fairy” associated with absinthe during the Belle Époque. Created just before the beverage was discontinued in 1906, the poster stands as a vivid piece of advertising history. Its enduring popularity led to the revival of Maurin Quina in modern markets, where Cappiello’s design continues to serve as the product’s label. Bold, theatrical, and instantly recognizable, this poster exemplifies Cappiello’s mastery of visual impact and remains a cornerstone of early 20th-century French poster art. Dimensions: 64.5"h x 48"w (framed). In very good condition. See less
