The design embraces simplicity: the phrase “Éteint la Soif” (“Quench Your Thirst”) is written directly in the sand, shaded by a Campari beach umbrella.

Pastis Olive by Marc, c. 1930 – Original Stone Lithograph Poster
An original large-format poster for Pastis Olive, created around 1930 by the artist Marc and printed by Publi-Vente in Paris. Measuring an impressive 51 × 79 inches, this striking stone lithograph has been professionally mounted on linen and preserved in excellent “A” condition.
The composition highlights the French tradition of enjoying pastis, set against the lively backdrop of the Port of Marseille. Pastis, introduced in the late 1920s and legalized in 1932 after absinthe was banned, quickly became a symbol of Provençal culture. Advertising posters such as this were instrumental in promoting the drink across France, linking it to leisure, conviviality, and the sun-drenched Mediterranean lifestyle.
This poster is a rare surviving example of interwar French advertising art at monumental scale, combining strong design with cultural history.
