Phospho Guano. ca. 1897.
The designer who brought us the most iconic chocolate poster of all time also designed this poster for an unlikely product: fertilizer. In 1897, the Compagnie du Phospho-Guano, headquartered in La Rochelle, opened a factory in the port area of Honfleur. Their main product was fertilizers derived from Peruvian guano, or bird droppings. Here, Bouisset gives us an approving couple surveying the fruits of fertilized labor.
Size: 39 5/8 x 50 3/4 in./100.6 x 128.8 cm
Condition: B+/ Slight tears and stains at folds and edges.
Printer: Affiches Camis, Paris
