A giant yellow hand cradles a coffee cup on its thumb while a whimsical anthropomorphic coffee pot figure sports a red fez hat against the stark black background. This Art Deco composition uses bold typography and playful surreal imagery to advertise a French coffee roastery.

Designed by Carl Chew in 1937 for Cafés Jeanne d'Arc, a family-operated coffee roasting business established in 1899 in Orleans, France. The poster reflects the Art Deco movement's embrace of commercial art and the period's approach to product advertising through memorable visual metaphors.

Chew's hand-and-coffee-pot combination creates an instantly recognisable brand image that merged function with fantasy. The composition exemplifies 1930s graphic design when advertising artists created bold, memorable imagery to distinguish products in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

A natural choice for coffee enthusiasts, collectors of French advertising art, or anyone drawn to the bold graphic design of the interwar period. Printed as an archival giclée on fine art paper.
