Friday’s ad is for a brand I’m not familiar with, Sodibo, which I believe was a French beer. I love the highly stylized pastel drawing with the sophisticated-looking woman partially obscured by a bright blue fog. It’s from the 1920s and the art is by a Jean Rousseau.

You can see more of the art in the poster below, but I still prefer the simpler one with almost no text. Below seems cluttered, above, elegant.

Great poster, and her name is Nancy (ha-ha); it’s like an ad for a hooker, “Call Nancy at Tel 62-66 @ 57 Avenue Foch” (Well, c’mon, it could be!)

I have bottom poster in an original 4×6 stone lithograph. Can you tell me anymore about it?

No more than is in the post. You’ll want to contact a poster or antique dealer for more info. My interest in them was merely artistic.
