Though it would appear to promote a wine originating from the French town pin-spotted on the golden-orange globe at the feet of the ecstatic courier, this poster is actually an advertisement for a Chablis-based cooperative of wine producers. Founded in 1923, La Chablisienne collects and vinifies the production of about a dozen Domaines, with an emphasis placed on the originality of each individual vineyard. As a testimony to the enduring quality of le Monnier's design, it is used as the central graphic image for the association website (). The artist created a large body of posters for films and commercial products during the period from 1924 to 1954, but little biographical information on him remains. [Rennert, PAI-XXXVIII]
This is a breathtaking sight in person. It's a rare treat to see the vibrant colors of blue and orange combined in old posters, and the poster itself looks like it's never seen the light of day. This poster is archivally linen mounted and in excellent condition.
