La Chablisienne - Coopérative des Vignerons à Chablis (Yonne) »
This
poster of "La Chablisienne" shows Chablis (the most
northern wine district of Burgundy) as the epicenter of the globe.
A red-haired woman in a Roman gown dominates this globe. She
proudly brandished a bottle of Chablis, to announce to the world
the birth of the cooperative: La Chablisienne.
The
artist plays on different shades of blue and red, certainly to
symbolize the colors of Chablis's coat of arms, which the woman
wears on her breast. Clusters of grapes adorn the poster.
Henry
Le Monnier was one of the most popular French advertising artists
after the First World War. He co-founded "Les Affiches
Lutetia" with J. A. Mercier.
