Apéritif Mugnier, Chéret, 1890

She carries the bottle on a tray at a run.

What

Jules Chéret's poster for the aperitif of Frédéric Mugnier of Dijon, printed by Chaix in Paris in 1890; Broido 861.

Why

The line DANS TOUS LES CAFÉS put the aperitif in every café in France, and the waitress runs to prove it.

Notice

Her red bodice and striped skirt fly behind her, and the gold and silver medals of the Exposition Universelle of 1889 are listed in red.

“Chéret's café girl, at a run.”
