A BEAUTIFUL and charming original vintage poster by Albert Solon showing, presented as if on a scroll, the wine-producing regions of France, including former North African territories.   

Size  96cm x 65cm

Background  Solon (1897-1973) was a prominent poster artist from the 1930s onward who also worked for Air France, St Raphael and Sabena. The map shows all the classic wine regions of metropolitan France. Less familiar today are the wines of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, though they have a long history and at the time the poster was created Algeria was famous for its wines.
