Adolphe Mouron Cassandre; Willi's Wine Bar Poster





The wonderfully graphic and quintessentially Art Deco image for this poster was created in 1935 by the renowned French poster artist A.M. Cassandre.  It was created for an unknown beverage company, but never used by the company.  In 1984 Willi's Wine Bar in Paris purchased the image from the estate of Cassandre and used it for the first of their annual posters.  This is an original first edition lithograph from the 1984 printing by Henri Mouton.  Framed, 39.5" h., 27.5" w.  French, c.1984  SOLD
Condition:  Very good vintage condition with a very minor professional restoration to the top border.
