The diner has a rabbit's head and a cobalt blue jacket, and he is eating salad. The mustard is on the table. Leonetto Cappiello (1875 to 1942) designed the poster around 1929 for Savora, a mustard-like condiment first made by Colman's in England in 1899 and sold in France only after the First World War. It dates from his partnership with the Paris publisher Devambez.
On the poster
A rotund rabbit-headed figure in a cobalt blue jacket leans over a white-draped restaurant table, forking green salad leaves into his mouth. Two yellow condiment bottles stand in the centre on a chrome caddy, with a second salad bowl at the left. The whole background is flat cadmium red, broken only by the red rungs of a bistro chair at the upper right. The view is from nearly overhead, so the tablecloth curves like a bowl.
