Angelus Menu

This is an original stone lithograph created by the legendary poster artist Leonetto Cappiello. It is a menu that was created for the Angelus Liqueur Company with the caption " a glass of Angelus after every meal."

Leonetto Cappiello (1875-1942) was an Italian poster artist who worked in Paris. He is known for modernizing advertising design for the 20th Century. His compositions are uncomplicated and often feature a graceful figure with an oversized rendition of the product against a simple color background. The typography is often minimized to be as direct and short as possible. This innovation allowed for the advertising to be eye-catching and understood at a moments’ glance. It was ideal for the fast paced travel and attention of busy city life.
