This artwork is from Les Maitres de L’Affiche series; miniature versions of outstanding stone lithograph artworks of the most important advertising posters by the finest artists. “In 1976, Jean Get, a young chemist in the town of Revel in the Haute Garonne district near Toulouse, decided to create the ultimate creme de menthe, and gave his product a name which would remind the buyer of the English word “peppermint.” The original Pippermint still accounts for some 70% of all the creme de menthe sales in France. The headquarters still remains in the founder’s hometown (Revel)” (Wine Spectator, 2)
