Description

A refined Belle Époque woman, crowned with oversized red flowers and a pearl necklace, savours a tulip glass while holding a bottle labelled “Cognac Fine Champagne Monis.” The composition sits within a deep blue frame, with bold yellow “FINE MONIS” lettering providing strong storefront legibility.

Fine Monis was marketed as a “Fine Champagne” cognac—signalling eaux-de-vie drawn from the Grande and Petite Champagne crus of the Cognac region—positioned as an aspirational French luxury drink in the pre-war years.

Colour lithography with soft tonal modelling and crisp keylines. This is a printer’s sheet/proof with crop marks and punched filing holes in the outer margin.
