| Absinthe Posters VIII - Absinthe Junod 3 Sheet |
Designed for the very largest billboards or outdoor display areas, oversized large format posters were
assembled from multiple sheets (the size of each individual sheet was a function of the size of the lithographic
stone used to print it). This type of poster had a particularly low survival rate, as they were cumbersome to
display and store, and were generally not documented and preserved by contemporary collectors.
Shown below is probably the largest absinthe poster in existence, a previously unrecorded 3-sheet version of
the famous Absinthe Junod poster by Misti. Each individual sheet measure 1.35m x 2m, giving a total size of
4m x 2m, or just over 13ft by 6ft 7"
A.Junod were one of the larger absinthe producers. For more on the history of the Junod family, click here.
