Two black devils leap across a red ground, and one of them has insect antennae. Leonetto Cappiello (1875 to 1942) designed the poster in 1907 for Fournier-Demars, the liqueur house in Saint-Amand-Montrond (Cher). Cappiello also used a green devil for Maurin Quina, though these two black figures give the Fournier design its own character.
On the poster
Two black-silhouetted devils bound across a saturated crimson ground. One clutches a small white product box, and the other curls a spade-tipped tail. Their pale, caricatured faces have rouged cheeks and red lips. A flowing cursive inscription fills the upper-left corner, and bold cream slab-serif capitals carry the brand name across the full width at the base.
