La Mouette - Anis Superiore

This elegant poster by Vion promotes “La Mouette,” an anis-flavored apéritif. Against a backdrop of golden sunlight and foaming waves, a stylish young woman dressed in a green, feather-like dress dances gracefully at the water’s edge, holding a glass that glows with the promise of refreshment. Overhead, a seagull (la mouette) glides in harmony with her gesture, symbolizing both the drink’s name and its light, uplifting character. The vivid contrasts of yellow, green, and blue, combined with the woman’s animated pose, capture the exuberance and sophistication of 1920s French advertising design.Like many beverage posters of the era, this composition celebrates modern leisure and seaside glamour, appealing to a generation newly enchanted with travel, elegance, and pleasure. Vion’s refined draftsmanship and dynamic composition align with the stylized, confident aesthetic of the post-war period—when advertising art became both sensuous and aspirational.The poster is attributed to Raoul Vion, a French illustrator/caricaturist and poster designer active roughly 1910s–1930s. Contemporary sources describe him as a member/exhibitor of the Salon/Société des Humoristes and primarily a magazine illustrator who also designed a small number of posters.This is an Original Vintage Poster, it is not a reproduction.
