Chocolat Carpentier 1897

Chocolat Carpentier 1897

Henri Gerbault1897

The cat is drinking straight from the cup. Henri Gerbault (1863 to 1930) designed the 1897 poster for the French chocolate company Chocolat Carpentier. Gerbault studied at the École des Beaux-Arts and went on to illustrate for magazines including La Vie Parisienne.

On the poster

A steaming cup of chocolate is the centre of the scene. A nurse in a red cap holds a baby who reaches eagerly toward it, a black cat drinks from the cup, and a white dog stretches up from below. The background is a glorious yellow.

Our restoration process

History has wrinkles. We have standards.

A century or two can be unkind to a poster. Folds, tears, stains, fading and the occasional indignity of terrible storage.

Each print begins with historic artwork, carefully restored using the latest digital tools and restoration techniques. Damage is addressed, colours refined and details recovered, while respecting the original composition, lettering and character.

The result? All the charm of the original, without having to live with its unfortunate accidents.

Paper and print details

Good art deserves good paper.

Each poster is printed to order using professional giclée printing techniques and archival pigment inks on 200gsm enhanced matte fine art paper.

The natural white, smooth matte finish reduces glare while bringing out rich colours and crisp detail. The inks are designed for excellent lightfastness, helping the artwork retain its colour for years to come.
