Bardinet Chypre Orange-Liqueur
c1900. Colour printed advertising poster, 111 x 75cm. Minor creases and slight soiling to margins. Linen-backed.
A fashionable woman in pale dress and hat leans beside an enormous amber liqueur bottle while holding a vivid red parasol, all set against a saturated cobalt-blue field. Prominent wording includes “Bardinet”, “Chypre”, “Orange-Liqueur”, “P. Bardinet Bordeaux” and “Curaçao de Chypre.” Monumental yellow and red lettering frames the figure and bottle, turning the product into a theatrical object of display. The poster advertises Bardinet’s orange liqueur from Bordeaux and belongs to the turn-of-the-century culture of large-format French drinks advertising, when bold colour and exaggerated scale were used to command attention in public spaces. The design was in circulation around 1899, consistent with the c1900 dating. No designer’s signature has been reliably identified on the supplied image.
