Brussels
by TROMMER & STAEVES
Brussels: Trommer and Staeves. Original lithograph. Poster. Backed on linen. Image measures 63.5 x 43.75". This oversize poster extravagantly advertises the Belgian brewery of Hahnen-Brau. Subtitled "in tasting," the image likens the pleasure of imbibing their beverage to the joy of a sunrise. Horn in hand, a winged maiden announces the triumphant appearance of the sun behind her. Her call is echoed by the puffed-up rooster, the brand's namesake, a rooster, which graces the emblem at the peak of the stone arch behind her. Shields below her include the coats of arms of Flanders. The poster is in very good condition and backed on linen. Scarce. (Inventory #: 267595)
