This image was created in 1931 by the talented French artist, Henri Le Monnier (1893 - 1978) for Source Verdier, a company that produced bottled mineral water. This poster is very decorative and charming despite it being over 85 years old. The poster was printed on two separate sheets that were merged together when mounted onto acid free barrier paper and then to canvas. It is a delightful image in a most impressive size.
Henri Le Monnier created a small body of work in the field of advertising posters. He worked mainly for the printer Affiches Lutetia based in Paris. Most of his designs were created from the 1920's - 1938 and are colorful, spirited, and somewhat humorous much in the style of Leonetto Cappiello and Jean D'Ylen who were more popular at that time. Le Monnier had a fine artistic hand and many of his posters are quite valuable in today's market.
