This poster by Alphonse Mucha, one of the most famous artists in the world was commissioned to celebrate the historic breweries of the Meuse River Valley. At the top, a beer-maiden leans forward, her hair entwined with hops, wheat, and poppies. Below, on the left, is the town of Bar-le-Duc, the capital of the Meuse province, and on the right, Les Caves du Roi in Sèvres, home to a major brewery—both depicted in greyscale to contrast beer as a business with beer as a lush, divine pleasure.
