VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This vintage illustration features an elegantly dressed woman in a pink dress, with her back to the viewer, looking at a large menu titled "CARTE DES VINS" (Wine List) that is being held open by a waiter's hand. The menu displays a map of France with various bottles of wine placed over different regions, suggesting the geographical origins of the wines offered. Above and below the map are headers reading "GRANDS CRUS" and "BONNES CUITES, " indicating selections of high-quality wines and possibly good vintages or 'good drunks'. Below the image is French text which translates to: “To have spirit [wit], one must not be too sober; It’s from Burgundy or Navarre that comes our best humor. Drink up, drink up, drink deep. ” This caption plays on words relating wit to alcohol consumption while referencing famous wine-producing regions in France. The overall design has an Art Deco influence typical for early 20th-century aesthetics.
