Description
A stunning original 1937 color lithograph advertising poster for Valmya Grand Vin Généreux Doux, designed by renowned French artist Henri Le Monnier (1893–1978). This exceptional piece captures the elegance and allure of French wine advertising during the height of the Art Deco era.
The composition features a striking tanned beauty in a bold striped dress, dynamically posed with an oversized bottle of Valmya wine. The design brilliantly reflects the wine’s Spanish heritage through the model’s dark hair and Mediterranean aesthetic, while the vibrant orange-and-cream striped fabric dominates the composition with graphic sophistication. The color palette—rich oranges, deep blacks, and warm flesh tones—creates an instantly eye-catching advertisement that would have commanded attention in cafés, wine shops, and public spaces across France.
Valmya was a sweet fortified wine (vin généreux doux) produced on the grounds of the historic Château de Valmy. This poster was published by the respected Parisian printer Imprimeries Joseph-Charles, known for their superior lithographic work.
