About the Poster: In the Art Deco period, many liquor and alcohol companies produced fans to advertise their wares. Used by women (and some men), these fans were, and remain, collectors items.
About Byrrh: Byrrh is an aromatised wine aperitif made of red wine, mistelle and quinine. Created in 1866 and a trademark since 1873, it was popular as a French apéritif. With its marketing and reputation as a "hygienic drink", Byrrh sold well in the early 20th century. It was even exported, despite the similarity of its name to "beer", complicating sales in English- and German-language speaking regions.
Byrrh was sold in the United States until Prohibition. As of 2012, Byrrh has been reintroduced to the United States. Voila!
We think this fan would look absolutely beautiful framed in any kitchen, above a dining room table, in a restaurant, or anywhere else you would need a splash of elegance!
