Description
Own an original 1950s printing of one of the world’s most iconic advertising images: Sandeman “The Don” by George Massiot. This legendary design, created by Massiot in 1928, became the face of Sandeman Jerez port and remains instantly recognizable worldwide—a testament to the enduring power of great Art Deco advertising.
The imagery is unmistakable: the mysterious Don figure in his signature black cape and wide-brimmed hat, confidently holding a small glass of Sandeman port. Set against a striking yellow background, the composition is bold, elegant, and quintessentially European. The contrast between the Don’s silhouette and the warm golden backdrop creates visual drama that commands attention on any wall.
This particular printing dates to the 1950s—a post-war lithograph of Massiot’s timeless original design. The archival linen-backing preserves the vibrant colors and crisp detail throughout. Condition is Grade A-, ready to frame. The lithography is clean, the registration precise, and the overall presentation speaks to both artistic merit and authentic vintage character.
Perfect for collectors of vintage spirits advertising, Art Deco enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates iconic design history. Display it in your living room, home bar, office, wine cellar, or gallery space. This poster is a conversation starter and an investment in design heritage.
