A vibrant vintage advertising poster by Leonetto Cappiello for Vegetaline cooking fat, featuring a chef riding a red elephant. A striking piece of advertising history, perfect for adding a touch of retro charm to your home.
Leonetto Cappiello, an Italian and French poster artist, revolutionised advertising in the early 20th century. His bold, simplified designs and vibrant colours broke away from the intricate Art Nouveau style, creating memorable and impactful images. This 1910 poster for Vegetaline, a cooking fat, exemplifies Cappiello's innovative approach. A jovial chef, clad in white, rides a bright red elephant, holding aloft a tin of the product. The background is a swirl of dark blues and greens, suggesting a fantastical landscape. The text, in bold yellow and green, proclaims the virtues of Vegetaline for cooking. Cappiello's use of a striking, unexpected image – the red elephant – ensured the advertisement would capture the public's attention. This print offers a glimpse into the golden age of advertising, a time when art and commerce intertwined to create enduring cultural icons. It brings a touch of vintage charm and artistic flair to any space, perfect for adding a splash of colour and a conversation starter to your kitchen or dining room.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
