About The Poster: This poster for Cognac Jacquet is considered a classic document of social, cultural and artistic history. Printed by Vercasson (one of the most respected print houses of the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods) in vibrant colours, the poster exudes luxury, elegance and class - attributes sought after by those who could afford to imbibe in Cognac Jaquet.
The peacock symbolizes beauty, masculinity, glamour, luxury, protection, pride, versatility, renewal, awareness, and metamorphosis. Only the male peacocks feature brightly-colored feathers. This bird is often associated with masculine energy. And its showy plumage represents confidence and cockiness.
Poster (not peacock) is linen-backed and in excellent condition. From a private collection.
