Rajah Vintage Coffee Ad - Poster

Henri Meunier, 1873-1922, (born Henri Georges Jean Isidore Meunier) was a Belgian Art Nouveau lithographer, etcher, illustrator, bookbinder and poster designer of the Belle Époque. Meunier used flat colors and thick outlines, borrowed from Japanese prints, to achieve powerful images. Vintage Label Art are paper labels that have been used since the early 1880s. They were introduced to America by European artists, and this printing process became known as lithography. This was one of the first forms of commercial art. This vintage advertisement for Rajah Coffee was done by Meunier in 1897 and would make a great print for a kitchen.
