Fap'Anis Aperitif

Original over sized lithographic poster, printed in the 1920s in France to advertise a Pastis aperitif called Fap Anis.

The creation of Pastis was a response to the banning of its infamous, anis-flavoured cousin, absinth in France in 1915.

The flapper enjoying a panoramic vista of the French Riviera is Gaby Deslys originating from Marseille (short for "Gabrielle of the Lillies"), a dancer, singer, and actress who achieved fame on two continents. Renowned for her beauty she was courted by several wealthy gentlemen including King Manuel II of Portugal.

Marseille the home of Pastis, and where Fap Anis was produced, made her a natural fit for this local girl.

Printed by Publicié Wall - Paris.

Laid down on linen for museum conservation.
