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.

Description and History
Leonetto Cappiello (1875–1942) was one of the most celebrated poster artists of the early 20th century, often called the father of modern advertising. Known for his bold colors and whimsical compositions, Cappiello revolutionized commercial art by replacing the elaborate Art Nouveau style with striking, simplified imagery focused on single, memorable figures.
Cappiello’s Champagne de Castellane poster design originally dates from the early 20th century and features his trademark dynamic energy—a joyful, celebratory spirit perfectly suited to the brand’s refined image. Castellane, one of France’s oldest Champagne houses founded in Épernay in 1895, became renowned for its distinctive red diagonal stripe label and its association with French elegance and festivity.
The 1980 reissue by Castellane served both as a tribute to the golden age of poster art and as an homage to Cappiello’s enduring influence on advertising and design.
