Sign In to see what this sold for

Artist: ADRIEN BARRÈRE (1877-1931) Size: 123 5/8 x 93 in./314 x 236.2 cm Affiches d'Art Robert, Paris Despite its name, one that implies a schnapps-style liquor, Ricqlès was an oral hygiene elixir–with a bit of a kick. "'If I had known it, solemnly proclaims Charlemagne while tasting the medicinal mint spirit 'Ricqlès', I would have used it to refresh the youth of the schools'. As far as the domain in question it should be noted that his pupils at large appear as Louis XI, François the 1st, Henri IV, Saint Louis, Louis XIV, Napoleon, and a snazzy Marianne, the only woman in the bunch. Diversity already. In order to not lose the through-line of their feedback, the emperor with the flourishing beard doesn't look down on serving a fair lady a stimulating drink, especially seeing as he recommended her as the youngest member of the class. Sacred Charlemagne!" (Célébrités, p. 44). This is the rare 4-sheet fposter.
