I’ve been posting vintage European posters all last year and will continue to do so in 2020. This poster was created for Brasserie Greff, located in Nancy, part of the Lorraine region of France. It was founded in 1856, but stopped production due to the war in 1942, and closed for good around 1955. This poster was created by French artst Marcellin Auzolle.
