Description
This is an exceptional turn-of-the-century original stone-lithograph poster advertising Brasserie Schneider, a renowned brewery and soda producer located in Brive, France. Created by artist Albert Quendray around 1900, this Brasserie Schneider poster captures the elegance and sophistication of the Art Nouveau movement at its peak.
The composition features two distinguished gentlemen enjoying the company of two charming young maidens—a signature motif of Belle Époque advertising that celebrated conviviality and social refinement. The horizontal format allows Quendray’s masterful lithographic technique to shine, with graceful linework and period-appropriate typography that exemplifies the decorative sensibilities of the era.
Albert Quendray was a skilled lithographic artist whose work bridged fine art and commercial design. His Brasserie Schneider poster demonstrates the technical mastery required of stone-lithography, where each color layer was hand-drawn and printed separately. The attention to detail—from the fabric textures to the delicate facial expressions—reveals the artist’s commitment to elevating brewery advertising into genuine art.
The poster arrives in very good to excellent condition (Grade A–A-) and has been professionally linen-backed for archival stability and display readiness. The piece shows minimal wear consistent with its age, preserving the vibrant lithographic inks and the subtle varnish finish characteristic of period originals.
Every poster in our collection includes a Certificate of Authenticity verifying provenance and condition. This is an original vintage poster—not a reproduction—and comes ready to frame as a centerpiece for any collection celebrating Belle Époque design and brewery history.
