Rhum des Ilets 1897
Buy this print on Etsy →A graceful Art Nouveau muse in a flowing white gown, her loose hair crowned with red blossoms, lifts a glass of golden rum beside a bottle of Rhum des Ilets set on a slender table. Signed by M. Guyon, this 1897 poster proclaims the rum superieur a tous les autres in luminous, sinuous green lettering.
Rum carried all the exotic romance of the age of sail and the far-flung tropics, and Belle Epoque advertising wrapped the spirit in elegance and allure to court fashionable Parisian palates. Guyon's refined figure and decorative line place the design squarely in the golden age of the French poster.
As wall art it makes an elegant focal point above a home bar or bar cart, in a dining room, or on a gallery wall of vintage advertisements. Each print is a museum-quality reproduction on premium archival matte paper, with rich, faithful color, ready to frame.
