Quinquina Dubonnet apéritif dans tous les cafés – Cheret – Le Maîtres de l’Affiche Plate 109 (Clean)

Poster: Quinquina Dubonnet apéritif dans tous les cafés – Cheret – Le Maîtres de l’Affiche Plate 109

This reproduction is an alternative, cleaner version of the Quinquina Dubonnet poster available here. It features the same vivacious, elegant and full of life chérette, raising a glass of aperitif in bonhomie, with her cat standing lovingly on her lap. It’s another great looking poster created by the prolific artist Jules Chéret, in 1895. It’d look great in a home bar or on any wall and everybody needs a ‘Cherette’ in their life! This vintage French poster was plate 109 of 256 posters in the classic Maitres de l’affiches series.

This plate is from the Maitres de l’Affiche (Masters of the Poster) collection one of 256 color lithographic plates delivered to monthly subscribers in sets of four beginning in 1895 and continuing through 1900. The collection was reproduced from the original posters of ninety-seven artists in a smaller 15 3/4 x 11 3/8 inch (40 x 29 cm) format. The individual plates were issued as separate numbered sheet, with the printer’s name, “Imprimerie Chaix,” in the margin at the bottom left hand corner.

Our posters are carefully and professionally created from vintage originals. Whilst great care is taken in the production of these posters, we also try to maintain a vintage feel, so there may be small imperfections, fold marks, scuffs, tears or marks that were part of the original poster master. If these do appear they should be visible on the larger views of the item on this listing. The originals of many of the posters we offer can cost many thousands of pounds, so whilst these posters look great, especially framed and mounted on a wall, they are intended as a fun, affordable reproductions and not intended fine art prints.

The 50x70cm version has been specially produced to be used in conjunction with Ikea’s 50x70cm Ribba picture frame which currently retails for around £12. So you can bag a print and frame for a great price.
