ARTIST: ANONYMOUS SIZE: 38 7/8 x 51 1/4 in./99 x 130.2 cm PRINTER: Affiches Camis, Paris DESCRIPTION: Certainly channeling the spirit of Misti, this poster presents a lively mise-en-scène of afternoon café culture at its most charming. As a young couple and their dog enjoy a sun-dappled afternoon, a threesome of older intellectuals ruminate over the watchful eye of a merry waiter. What they all seem to have in common is a love for the apéritif St. Raphaël Quinquina, as its ruby-red hue noticeably fills all the glasses. (Art Nouveau; Alcohol)
