This charming poster for Dubonnet captures the lighthearted atmosphere of the French bar scene during the Belle Epoque. The classic color palette of white, red, and black is used to simply and effectively show us that Dubonnet is a drink for a night of fun.

Dubonnet is a wine-based aperitif with quinine, meant to be enjoyed before dinner to stimulate the appetite. Dubonnet was developed in 1846 by Joseph Dubonnet in a competition run by the French Government. The goal of the competition was to find a way to convince French Foreign Legionnaires in North Africa to drink quinine, which combats malaria but tastes very bitter. Dubonnet was wise enough to combine the quinine with irresistible wine and other flavorings, and the drink became an instant success abroad and in France. It is still manufactured today, and is actually the Queen of England’s beverage of choice.

  • If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

  • Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

  • The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
