this piece is the poster that started graphic design as we know it today with the bold typography, few words, yet a very clear message -
in this case, the cheeky 'green devil' character more or less saying 'it's a bit naughty but go ahead and try it anyway'!- a massive departure from the flowery art-nouveau advertising of that day.
this image single-handedly created a collector's market.

champagne fit for a king!
cachou lajaunie, 1922
