Champagne Vicomte F. de Castellane, Épernay, 1900

One bottle, life size, on a field of yellow.

What

An anonymous 1900 poster for Champagne Vicomte F. de Castellane of Épernay, printed by Arnoux in Paris on a sheet 118 by 40 cm.

Why

The format is as narrow as the bottle, so the bottle is the poster.

Notice

The label carries a red cross over the house name and reads Cuvée 1900.

“The house already holds Cappiello's Castellane of 1922. This is the plain bottle that came before the drawing.”

Format
