Cognac Richardpailloud. 1930.

ARTIST: JEAN D'YLEN (1866-1938) SIZE: 46 3/4 x 62 3/4 in./119 x 159.2 cm PRINTER: Imp. Vercasson, Paris DESCRIPTION: A flouncing ambassador from the Richardpailloud distillery opens the floodgates to torrential abandonment in the name of their trademark cognac. Shielded by their crest and unleashed from the confines of gravity, this pale envoy is motion and hedonism personified—in short, the ideal representative from the ethereal land of intoxication. And this isn’t his first visit either: the image was so popular that this represents the fifth edition of the design, a fact indicated after the printer’s mark. (Art Deco; Alcohol)
