Cognac Monnet Poster Print by Leonetto Cappiello (1920)

Product details

Cognac Monnet: sunshine in a glass

Celebrate an interest in French advertising and historic drinks posters with this reproduction of Leonetto Cappiello’s Cognac Monnet, dated 1920. Its slogan, “Du soleil dans un verre” (“sunshine in a glass”), gives the advertisement a memorable connection between the drink and a sunny visual idea. Choose it for a home bar, dining room or gallery wall exploring the art of commercial posters.

About the advertisement

Cappiello’s playful approach turns a product advertisement into a distinctive artistic concept. The named cognac brand provides a specific identity within a drinks-poster collection, offering an alternative to a general food illustration or still life. This reproduction lets you enjoy that advertising history as wall art rather than acquire an original poster from 1920. It is decorative artwork, not a bottle of cognac or a piece of original branded packaging.

Create a personal drinks corner

Imagine displaying the print near a shelf of cocktail books, with warm wooden furniture, softly textured seating and favourite glassware nearby. It can introduce a French-poster connection into an everyday dining space without requiring the whole room to follow a bar theme. The recorded black, yellow and pink palette offers a starting point for coordinating accessories or companion prints.

A smaller format can join an established gallery arrangement, while a larger print gives the Monnet advertisement a more prominent place. Pairing it with Bitter Campari and Contratto builds a shared Cappiello collection around different drinks brands. Adding Fernet-Branca broadens the display into other vintage beverage advertising. Consider your available wall space and usual viewing distance before choosing the size that suits your arrangement.

Paper, printing and finish

This product is a reproduction, not an original Cappiello advertisement or an antique poster from 1920. It is produced using giclée printing on 200gsm matte art paper with a matte finish. Choose a print-only version if you would like to use your own frame, or select a framed option with a black wooden frame and white mount. Three paper sizes provide flexibility for an individual drinks-art feature or a grouped vintage-advertising gallery.
