    Campari Poster by Adolfo Hohenstein (c. 1900) – Original Art Nouveau Design (known as “Liberty” in Italy)

    This original Campari poster, designed by Adolfo Hohenstein around 1900, is an example of Art Nouveau advertising. Measuring 39 x 78 inches, it depicts two gentlemen seated at a table enjoying Campari. The composition reflects the elegance of Italian café culture from the early 20th century, with Hohenstein’s signature use of flowing lines and atmospheric detail.

    Adolfo Hohenstein (1854–1928) was a German-Italian painter, illustrator, and graphic artist who played a major role in the development of early Italian poster design. Often referred to as the father of Italian poster art, he was a key figure in the Art Nouveau movement, influencing later artists such as Leonetto Cappiello and Marcello Dudovich. Hohenstein’s work is characterized by elegant figures, dynamic compositions, and rich decorative elements, all of which are present in this Campari design.

    The poster has been mounted on linen and is in excellent condition.

    Cachou Lajaunie by Leonetto Cappiello 1900

    Cachou Lajaunie was created by Leonetto Cappiello in 1900 for the French maker of Cachou Lajaunie breath mints and printed by Imprimerie Vercasson, Paris. The image shows an elegantly dressed woman enjoying the product, presented against a simple background to emphasize the figure and the brand name. At this time, stone lithography was the standard method for high-quality advertising posters, allowing for precise color and detail.

    This poster comes from the early years of Cappiello’s career and from the period when Art Nouveau dominated European design. It illustrates how commercial posters were used both to advertise products and to convey a sense of fashion and modern life.

    The poster has been mounted on linen using archival materials and is graded “Excellent A.”
