Beautiful antique cardboard advertising sign with vibrant colors, depicting an eagle soaring above a tricolor crest set against a radiant sunburst background. This striking graphic composition promotes the Jules Huet & Co. house of Bordeaux, associated with the "Verbena" aperitif liqueur since 1820. The style evokes late 19th-century chromolithographic advertisements, with a rich iconography blending red draperies, celestial motifs, and patriotic emblems. The result is a theatrical scene filled with power and prestige.
