Cognac Pellison Pere & Co

Very little is known about the Pellison Pere & Company other than the fact that it was established in 1814.

Featured in this French liquor advertisement is a young man, clad in the fashion of the early 1900's, carrying an oversized barrel, all in classic Capiello style; an eye-catching, larger-than-life figure in the foreground; a dark background contrasting with the brighter colors around that figure; and an incongruous, often amusing scenario. The boy, a striking read-head dressed in yellow, is struggling to hold the huge barrel, his image pops from the intense black background.
