DRANSY (JULES ISNARD) NICOLAS / FINES BOUTEILLES.
91x63 inches. H. Perrier, Paris.
Condition B+: restoration and repaired tear at edges, some affecting image; abrasions in image. Two sheets.
Dransy's memorable, wide-eyed delivery man, in his blue apron, gray jacket and brown pants is laboring under the weight of red bottles on the right and yellow bottles on the left; lettering in blue. Originally done in 1930, this image was so popular that it was used and reused over the years and appears in many different sizes and with slightly different text, usually appearing bearing the firm name "Nicolas". Weill 373 (var), Memoire de la Rue 96 (var).
