A superb document for wine enthusiasts, advertising a French wine merchant still in existence today. To the best of our knowledge this rare poster is the only period piece to advertise first growth chateaux. The vineyards depicted are the biggest names, including all of the most venerable winegrowers, with the exception of Chateau Lafite. It is also a very early poster that integrates photography into its design, employing an Art Nouveau-style border of grapes and vines around the images of the four vineyards.
