Heidsieck & Co Monopole, Reims, 1912

Seven royal arms across the top, one word at the bottom.

What

A 1912 poster for Heidsieck & Co of Reims, founded 1785, under its successors Walbaum Goulden & Co, printed by Champenois in Paris.

Why

There is no figure at all. The sell is the row of coats of arms under the words Fournisseurs brevetés.

Notice

The house name is set in a looping script, and Monopole, the brand of the wine, is the only word in red.

“A letterhead blown up to poster size, and confident enough to need nothing else.”
