Continua a leggereMade by Litho Myncke in 1903, J. François (Distillerie de la Chabotte, Vins, liqueurs & spiritueux, 1896–1903) turns an advertisement for cognac and other spirits into a piece of theatrical spectacle. Two costumed figures command the composition: a white-clad clown drinks directly from a raised bottle, while a harlequin, patterned in vivid diamonds, strikes an animated pose beside him. Below, barrels and bottles form a substantial display of the distillery’s wares, their commercial purpose enlivened by the poster’s spirited red, yellow and green palette.
The design belongs to a period when illustrated advertising was becoming central to the public identity of brands. Posters needed to be legible at a glance, but they also had to lodge in the memory. Here, the Distillerie de la Chabotte is associated not with the sober apparatus of production, but with performance, conviviality and nocturnal festivity. Litho Myncke combines prominent lettering with recognisable stock characters and an abundant display of goods, creating an advertisement that communicates variety and character before every word has been read.
A closer look
The eye first settles on the white costume at the centre, its broad ruffled collar and bright highlights sharply distinguished from the darker, softer background. The figure’s tilted head and raised bottle establish a strong diagonal, giving an otherwise balanced composition an element of comic movement. Beside it, the harlequin’s red-and-blue diamond pattern introduces a brisk visual rhythm: the costume is not merely decorative, but acts almost like a second layer of typography, arresting the eye through repetition and contrast.
Across the lower portion, three barrels anchor the figures and provide a practical catalogue of the drinks on offer. The labels include “Cognac”, while nearby wording names “Amer Bitter” and “Genièvre Pur Grain”. Their bold serif lettering is integrated into the scene rather than separated into a conventional list. A basket of bottles at the lower right extends this impression of abundance, with the reflective highlight on the raised glass bottle adding a small but effective note of polish.
The upper part of the poster changes register. “DISTILLERIE de la CHABOTTE” and “Vins Liqueurs & Spiritueux” establish the advertiser in emphatic display lettering, while a pale moon, drifting cloud forms and tiny stars create a whimsical night sky behind the performers. The background suggests depth without competing with the foreground: softened shapes and a distant skyline remain atmospheric, allowing the strong outlines of the costumes, barrels and lettering to retain their graphic force.
Context and significance
At the turn of the twentieth century, commercial lithography offered advertisers a particularly effective union of image, colour and type. Rather than relying on dense written claims, designers could build a brand through a memorable visual world. The Distillerie de la Chabotte poster exemplifies that approach. Its principal message is organised hierarchically—the distillery’s name above, its products below—yet the costumed figures supply the wit and theatricality that make the information memorable.
The result is both salesmanship and period graphic culture: a lively record of how wines, liqueurs and spirits were presented through entertainment, ornament and bold chromatic contrast. Details such as the patterned harlequin costume, moonlit setting and barrel labels reward closer attention, but the poster never loses the immediate clarity required of public advertising. Its appeal lies precisely in that balance between practical communication and exuberant display.
Choosing the right size and finish
Artwork can feel intimate at smaller sizes and dramatically more architectural at larger ones. Use the room preview, model image and size guide to see how the proportions and scale will work in your space.
If you need an exact size, specialist framing or help planning a larger display, ask our workshop for advice.
The model in the listing images is holding the 18x24in (45x60cm) version of this art print.
Where personalisation is available, you can add a short title or dedication, or one considered visual detail. See examples of personalised artwork.
Choose Original to retain the colour and character of the source artwork, or Aged for a warmer, more antique appearance. See examples of our Aged artwork.
Every piece is produced to archival standards using fade-resistant pigment inks on acid-free matte art paper. Choose an art print, framed art print or framed canvas using the finish options above.
Framed art prints use crystal-clear optical acrylic for excellent clarity, lower weight and safer delivery than glass. Each piece arrives professionally framed and ready to hang.
Selected artworks can be produced at statement sizes up to 3 metres (10ft). Custom sizing and specialist framing are also available. If the exact option you need is not listed, contact our workshop.
This artwork is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The work is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present an art print without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas art and explore the differences between my different finishes.

Personalised and customised pieces usually take an extra 1–2 working days, because we prepare your design and send it to you for approval before printing.
Very large framed orders can take a little longer, as they need extra care in production and delivery.
Every order is carefully packaged: unframed prints are sent in a strong protective tube, while framed pieces are securely packed with protective materials around the frame.

Our standard frame is a gallery-style black ash hardwood frame, with a simple, modern look. It is approximately 20mm (0.8in) wide. You can also view some lovely customer photos of framed maps and art.
We use super-clear acrylic glazing, also known as Perspex or Acrylite, instead of traditional glass. It is lighter, safer, and has lower reflectivity, giving the artwork a clearer, cleaner appearance.
Six standard frame colours are available at no extra cost: black, dark brown, dark grey, oak, white, and antique gold. Custom framing and mounting/matting is also available for customers looking for something more specific.
Most maps, art prints, and illustrations are also available as a framed canvas. We use matte cotton canvas, stretch it over a sustainably sourced wooden box frame, and then float the piece within a wooden outer frame. The finished result is beautifully presented, with no glazing between you and the artwork.
All frames are supplied ready to hang, with either string or brackets fitted to the back. Very large frames will include heavy-duty hanging plates and/or a mounting baton. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
We can also supply old maps and artwork on canvas, foam board, cotton rag, and other materials.
If you would prefer to frame your map or artwork yourself, please read our size guide before ordering.

Ogni stampa artistica restaurata inizia dall’opera originale dell’artista—mai da una sostituzione generata dall’IA.
Il nostro studio di Londra lavora a partire da materiali di origine accuratamente selezionati da musei, biblioteche, archivi e collezioni private. Restauriamo i danni dovuti all’età, i colori sbiaditi e le imperfezioni di riproduzione, preservando al contempo la composizione, il tratto del pennello, il segno, la texture e il carattere d’epoca dell’artista.
Non utilizziamo l’IA generativa per ridisegnare, reinterpretare o inventare l’opera. Il restauro digitale viene impiegato solo per recuperare e riprodurre l’opera originale nel modo più fedele possibile.
Una volta restaurata, l’opera master viene preparata per il formato e la finitura da te scelti. Il tuo pezzo viene quindi stampato e, se selezionato, incorniciato vicino alla destinazione di consegna.
Le nostre stampe artistiche giclée utilizzano carta opaca archivistica senza acidi da 200 g/m² e inchiostri pigmentati resistenti allo sbiadimento, per una finitura ricca e di qualità museale. Le stampe artistiche incorniciate utilizzano acrilico ottico cristallino e arrivano pronte da appendere.
Sono disponibili anche tele incorniciate ed edizioni speciali su cotone-rag. Scopri di più sui nostri materiali e finiture.
Restauriamo e produciamo mappe e stampe d’arte dal 1984, e garantiamo personalmente ogni pezzo.
Ogni ordine è coperto dalla nostra garanzia di 10 anni e dalla garanzia di consegna senza danni. Se il vostro pezzo arriva danneggiato, lo sostituiremo o lo rifaremo gratuitamente. Se qualsiasi altro aspetto non fosse conforme, contattate il nostro team di laboratorio e provvederemo tempestivamente a risolvere il problema.
Per tutti i dettagli, consultate la nostra politica su resi e rimborsi.
