- amw5g - 12-03-2003 We picked up a wine poster when we lived in New York. The shop was throwing it out and the frame was a bit messy, but we still think it looks pretty nifty. Wondering if anyone has seen it before or knows much about it. Approx 2' x 3' Across the top is "Vignobles et Caves de la Bouvraie_ (Anjou)" The image is a woman tilting her had back, eyes closed, slight smile holding up a martini class of sparkling wine. The background is the image of a chateau framed in a dark blue circle. The rest of the background is flat black. Across the bottom is "H. Grandin et Cie" "Vins Moussaux _ Anjou" The very small print at the bottom right is "Gossart 35 Rue St Georges Paris Creation Janvier 1934 Reproduction Interdite" The colors are simple- black, blue, yellow, peach and very soft. I see an artist's signature in left-center, but the script makes it difficult to validate- Ch Harry, Ch Hany, something lke that? I'm fairly knowledgable w/ French, so I know what it says and know about the Anjou region, but am unfamiliar with the Grandin company or its products. Any insight would be appreciated. -Andrew [This message has been edited by amw5g (edited 12-08-2003).] - Kcwhippet - 12-03-2003 Here's something to get you started - www.tucker.com.au/Portfolio/Grandin/grandin.html - amw5g - 12-08-2003 Thanks KC.
