ABOUT PRODUCTID 16460
This original BYRRH advertising poster from 1938 is a rare example of French commercial graphic art from the interwar period. Printed in deep blacks, graphite, and shades of grey, it depicts a realistically rendered scene on a sports field—figures dressed in typical 1930s attire, dynamic interactions, and signature stylizations anchored in the Art Deco aesthetic. The lower part of the composition features a strong, geometric BYRRH typography, accompanied by a witty slogan. The whole is set in a minimalist, black-painted wooden frame with sharp edges and a matte finish, protected by clear, scratch-free glass. The poster is preserved in very good condition—the paper is lightly yellowed but shows no visible abrasions or damage, making it an authentic collector’s document of its era.The paper’s surface and decisive linework evoke the atmosphere of prewar France—the poster conjures images of urban afternoons where sport and café culture intertwined in daily life. The BYRRH logo, shaded for depth, humorously references the lively spirit of the aperitif, while the poised figures appear as if frozen in time, silent witnesses to the lighthearted elegance and wit of the late 1930s. The balance between formal stylization and realistic detail allows the artwork to tell a concise but evocative story of the era’s lifestyle and aesthetic language.Such a graphic would work well displayed on a focal living room wall, particularly alongside other interwar-era decorations, like black-and-white photographs or minimalist Art Deco clocks. It could also be paired with polished wood, geometric lighting, or contemporary prints, enhancing its status as a collectible artifact and subtly emphasizing its historical references within a modern interior.
