Hanappier
Albert
Guillaume's works are well represented in the Gustave Dutailly collection with
not less than sixty items (posters, press illustrations, menus, programs,
entrance tickets, etc). He was not so much acknowledged for an original design
but for his clever ideas. In this poster the narration can be considered as
ordinary, yet a gigantic bottle fills the foreground. Even if the theme is
common in posters for alcoholic beverages, there is something like a
double-statement. The characters play a secondary role and seem to enhance the
bottle. They gain an importance so that the spectators can identify themselves.
