Lait pur stérilisé de la Vingeanne
Three cats waiting by a bowl of milk, for sterilised milk from Vingeanne.
Steinlen loved cats and drew them often. The poster shows three of them looking at a bowl of milk, an image that is easy to recognise and remember.
The milk was sterilised and sold as a way to get clean milk. The advertising made a product from a small dairy into one of the city’s best-known posters.
