{"product_id":"kina-lillet-by-robys","title":"Kina Lillet by Robys","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1930s advertising poster by Robys exemplifies the exuberance of interwar French commercial art and its ability to merge modern graphic language with classical allegory. Executed as a stone lithograph, the composition reflects Robys’ confident use of saturated color and rhythmic form, hallmarks of French poster design during a period when advertising embraced spectacle, elegance, and immediacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKina Lillet was created by the Lillet brothers in 1887 as an apéritif wine combining Bordeaux wine, quinine, and fruit liqueurs. Its use of white wine distinguished it from earlier red based apéritifs and helped establish its reputation as the apéritif of Bordeaux following its commercial debut in 1895. By the 1930s, Kina Lillet had become closely associated with leisure, refinement, and modern social life, making it a natural subject for bold visual promotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobys’ design draws on allegorical tradition while remaining firmly modern, presenting a female figure entwined with grapes to suggest abundance, pleasure, and conviviality. The controlled balance of form and color demonstrates the sophistication of French advertising at the time, when posters were conceived not only as marketing tools but as autonomous works of graphic art. This piece stands as a strong example of how commercial lithography in France reached a high level of artistic ambition during the early twentieth century.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nConsider yourself lucky if you get the chance to add this fabulous 1930s piece of French advertising history in your home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Size\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 77.0\" x 51.5\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Artist\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Robys\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Condition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Poster has never been folded.
