Bières Petit & Fils. ca. 1926.
We don’t know much about this French brewery, but the five grinning faces tell us all we need to know: the beer is delicious. Below the glass of cold frothy ale, we see a detailed depiction of the malt house and adjoining brewery. Brodovitch was born in the Russian Empire (now Belarus) and joined the Russian army during World War I when he was 16. He then moved to Paris to become a painter, which led him to graphic design and some notable successes in the field of poster art. Most notably, he later became the art director for Harper’s Bazaar from 1934 to 1958. This early work from his career is also rare!
