<![CDATA[Chocolate Amatller (1902)]]>I'd never heard of the brand, which started in 1797. They're out of Barcelona, and there are modern ads so they appear to still exist. I'm not sure we have it on this side of the pond, but maybe someone who knows more will comment.

I’ve got a few prints in similar style around my home. Always nice to see more art deco style prints!

We'll need an art aficionado to chime in. But some of their modern packaging, boxes and wrappers and such, is also not plain.

Modern Amatller

He even did stained-glass: https://www.muchafoundation.org/en/gallery/browse-works/object/199 or https://www.czechleaders.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/2_Mucha.jpg.

But almost at the same time (well, 1900 to 1930) they did Art deco which was the "modern equivalent" (a sequel) for architecture and buildings, like the entrance of the Rockefeller Center (https://artandtheology.org/2024/08/09/art-deco-wisdom-sculpture-at-rockefeller-center/). Another article focusing on Paris but I'm sure most big cities have their own: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Nouveau_in_Paris

IIRC, you can see some of those buildings' styles in the TV show Hercule Poirot with David Suchet (great show).

Weird times but fucking amazing IMHO.

What's it called?

This is like Chat Noir.
