Description
This charming original 1930s Zika lemon liquor poster exemplifies the playful Art Deco aesthetic of French advertising design. Featuring an enchanting smiling lemon character with vibrant green leaves, the vintage poster captures the spirit of interwar marketing with its bold orange and cream color palette and hand-lettered typography declaring “Zika par-ci! Zika par-la! Zika partout!”
Created circa 1930 in Bourgoin-Jallieu, a commune in the Isère department of south-eastern France, this original lithograph offers a rare snapshot of vintage French beverage advertising that is now discontinued. The iconic smiling lemon mascot—with its joyful expression and anthropomorphic charm—became the recognizable face of the Zika brand during its golden era of production.
This is an authentic, original vintage lithograph poster, not a reproduction. The piece measures 9.5 x 12.5 inches and has been professionally conserved using acid-free, museum-quality mounting techniques on linen backing. The condition remains excellent, with vibrant color saturation and crisp lithographic detail preserved throughout.
