.By 1918, Jules Robin & Co. had grown into France's second-largest cognac house — surpassed only by Hennessy — with a robust Anglophone export trade that gave rise to English-language lithographs like this one. Poster features an oval Belle Époque portrait of an elegantly dressed woman within an Art Nouveau vine-and-ribbon surround, the brand's cognac bottles flanking a calendar below.

Artist unknown; unsigned.

Archival presentation throughout: custom circa-2000s frame with double mat in linen/cotton, decorative filet, and UV-protective plexiglass.

Poster approx. 20"×30"; framed 28.5"W × 37.25"H × 1.25"D.

Visually excellent for its age — minor corner loss upper right, light marks in upper field, and a hairline scratch (~7") in the plexiglass visible only at certain angles. See less
