Vintage 1950s Byrrh Quinquina Aperitif Print Advertisement — Original French Pin-Up Original Ad
Approximately 9.5 x 12.5 inches.
This circa 1955 Byrrh Vin Apéritif au Quinquina vintage advertisement captures the playful glamour of postwar French café society with a coy, telephone-cradling blonde holding a coupe glass and the exclamation 'Allo!' The illustrated pin-up style — signed by artist Okley — is quintessential 1950s French commercial art, blending wit with aspirational joie de vivre. Byrrh, the beloved quinine-laced wine aperitif from the Roussillon region, was a fixture of mid-century French life, making this original print ad a highly collectible piece of European drinks ephemera and vintage illustration history.
