Known as the father of the modern poster, Jules Cheret (1836 - 1932) was a French painter and lithographer. He worked on everything from theater to advertising. Just by placing a Dark area behind the figure and bathing her front in an orange glow. Cheret is able to suggest the cozy intimacy of a fireside scene to advertise this cool-tasting Mint liqueur. Another subtle graphic touch is the way the woman's sleeve seems to form a nestling hood around her head. In 1976, Jean get, a young chemist in the town of revel in the haute Garonne District near Toulouse, decided to create the ultimate creme de Menthe, and gave his product a name which would remind the buyer of the English word peppermint. The original Pippermint still accounts for some 70percent of all the creme de Menthe sales in France. The headquarters still remains in the founder's hometown.
