Beer In Ads #2901: Bières La Semeuse

Sunday’s ad is for Bières La Semeuse, from 1900. From the late 1800s until the 1940s, poster art really came into its own, and in Europe a lot of really cool posters, many of them for breweries, were produced. This poster is for possibly a brewery in Alsace region of France, maybe Strasbourg, but I’m not sure. La Semeuse means “The Sower” and was a “French pictorial allegory invented by Oscar Roty around 1887, presenting a young woman wearing a Phrygian cap sowing seeds at sunrise, and who has become over time one of the symbols of the French Republic,” of which this seems to be at least based on that.
