Bières de la Meuse, Sèvres et Bar-le-Duc, 1898
A rider in a boater takes a beer from a girl in red.
What
A poster for the beers of La Meuse, brewed at Sèvres and Bar-le-Duc, printed by F. Champenois, 66 boulevard Saint-Michel, Paris, in 1898; the BnF sheet measures 150 by 102 cm.
Why
The house already holds La Meuse in Mucha's hand; this is the brewery's other face, a country inn on a summer day.
Notice
The inn sign reads LA MEUSE, the grey horse stands patient, and the girl's red dress is the brightest thing on the sheet.
“The same brewery, sold as a ride in the country.”
