Late 19th - Amidon Remy Vintage Advertising Chromo Card - Grand Prix Paris 1889 - Antique French Print - Nautical Theme - Collectible

This exquisite Late 19th-century advertising chromo promotes Amidon Remy, a renowned starch brand, celebrating its Grand Prix award at the Paris 1889 exhibition. The vibrant illustration depicts a lively scene on a ship's deck, with elegantly dressed passengers enjoying a leisurely voyage. A woman in a striking red dress and green jacket relaxes in a folding chair, holding a fan, while others gaze out at the sea.

The reverse side features elegant script detailing the product's success. It reads: 'Il y a des amidons de tous prix et cependant la vente de l'Amidon Remy prend d'année en année un plus grand développement.' (There are starches of all prices and yet the sale of Amidon Remy grows year by year). The text further explains the increasing consumer appreciation for this universally reputed product and the expansion of a new factory in Gaillon (Eure) to meet demand. This vintage print is a charming piece of French advertising history.
