Can the poster use a name I choose?

Yes — type the product name in the direction field and it is spelled exactly on the poster.

What size do these print at?

Each poster is drawn at A3 proportions with an even margin, so it prints clean at A3 or scales to A4.

Is this a reproduction of a real vintage ad?

No — the product, brand and slogan are all invented for the print, composed in the period's visual register rather than copied from an existing ad.

Vintage advertisement posters: apéritif, bicycle and ski resort

Vintage advertisements — an invented apéritif whose name "BELVANE" is lettered large across the top and spelled exactly, a ruby bottle with a red-lipped label, a cut orange and a haloed arc of blossom behind it, drawn as a Belle Époque stone lithograph, whiplash Art Nouveau curves, a decorative halo arc behind the subject, thick keyline outlines and flat inked fills

Reading 3Ski resort

The Belle Époque poster for a product that never existed: an apéritif with a red-lipped bottle, a bicycle brand with a swooping figure, a ski resort in three colors. These nine cross those three products with an Art Nouveau halo, an Art Deco sunburst and a letterpress-texture finish — invented names spelled exactly, printed on aged paper.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
