Otard Dupuy & Co Cognac, Georges Meunier, 1895

She takes the first sip, he waits with the bottle.

What

Georges Meunier's 1895 poster for the cognac house Otard Dupuy & Co, printed by Chaix in Paris.

Why

Meunier printed at Chaix, the Ateliers Chéret, and the loose red ground is in that house manner.

Notice

The waiter's monocle and moustache, and the leopard-print collar on her yellow coat.

“A brandy sold as a moment between two people, not a list of medals.”
