Du Soleil dans un Verre, Cognac Monnet, Cappiello, 1927

Sunshine in a glass, held up to the lips.

What

Cappiello's 1927 poster for Cognac Monnet, printed by Devambez in Paris.

Why

The slogan reads du soleil dans un verre, sunshine in a glass, and the picture does exactly that.

Notice

Her hair is a burst of yellow that becomes the sun behind the glass, and her red dress breaks into flames at the hem.

“Twenty years after the cask and the bird, Cappiello was still making one figure carry the whole sentence.”
