Original Poster Liqueurs de la Grande Chartreuse, by G. Favre - Circa 1920

Both majestic and understated, this advertising poster by G. Favre, circa 1920, extols the timeless virtues of the renowned Liqueurs de la Grande Chartreuse" still made today as in the past by the Carthusian Fathers." With its refined, almost hushed style, the poster elevates the bottle to a sacred object, towering over a stylized depiction of the Tarragona monastery, the place of exile and production after the monks were expelled from France.

The bottle stands prominently in the foreground, anchored on a blue-toned engraving, creating a subtle contrast between the amber richness of the glass and the near-abstract design of the landscape. The message is clear: behind each drop of this centuries-old liqueur lies a heritage, a monastic savoir-faire passed down in silence and fidelity to tradition.

Printed by Affiches Gaillard in Paris and Lyon, this large lithograph measures approximately 62.6 x 47.2 inches, and is presented in A condition - linen-backed and remarkably well preserved. With its thoughtful composition, visual balance, and quiet power, this poster ranks among the finest advertising works ever created around Chartreuse.
