"Masson was the pseudonym of Claire Mallon whose primary interest was engraving in copper; but she also painted, and her work found its way to the prestigious Salon in 1920, when she became a member of the Société des Artistes Français. Her poster is a rarity . . . it is certainly the rarest of the many posters for Dubonnet" (Wine Spectator 146).
