Cognac Boutelleau, Trade Mark, 1899

A crown, three swords and two gold medals.

What

A poster for the cognac of Boutelleau & Co., 1899, built on the house's registered trade mark; the BnF lists the maker as unidentified.

Why

Written in English, the poster shows the mark a buyer abroad would find on the case.

Notice

The shield carries three swords under a crown and three stars, and the medals of two exhibitions hang on either side.

“Twenty years before Cappiello drew this house, it sold on its crest.”

BnF Gallica scan: BnF asks for a licence for commercial reuse of its reproductions; flag for legal sign-off (the house already sells Gallica scans). Mark status dead is the registrar's reading of an old mark; no trademark search was run, so confirm before launch.

This brand was gone from the market. Everything sold here is the art, not the drink.
