First and only editions. Printed by Imprimerie Draeger Frères Montrouge.<br /> <br /> A set of thirty-seven extravagantly produced annual fine wine commercial catalogues issued by the Parisian wine merchant Établissements Nicolas Maison between 1929 to 1973 together with associated tariff cards advertising cards and ephemera and Carte Fines Bouteilles commercial catalogues issued for the years 1993-1997. This set lacks only the extremely rare 1927 and 1928 catalogues. No catalogues were published in 1937 1940-1948 1952 and 1968. In French.<br /> <br /> Continuing the trend established by Nicolas earlier in the 1920s with the publication of Monseigneur Le Vin and the extremely successful 'Nectar' advertising campaign Nicolas' groundbreaking catalogues were illustrated and designed by famous artists and typographers of the twentieth century including Cassandre Darcy Iribe Legrand Fantin-Latour Galanis Diginimont Buffet Chapelain-Midy Lorjou van Dongen and others. The illustrations are reproduced in a range of different techniques including screen printing lithography photo-montage and four color printing. Each catalogue or Liste is a design statement and a work of art in itself; not to mention a record of the extraordinary wines on offer and their price and availability over time. <br /> <br /> Liste 1929: 240x165mm black and gold illustrated stiff card wrappers stab sewn 2231pp; illustration by Jules Isnard Dransy 1883-1945; two advertising cards for the fine wines of Bordeaux laid in.

During it's two centuries of trade it has significantly changed the way consumers drink and consider wine. First it was the first merchant to sell table wine in bottles rather than casks making it easier for the average person to drink a glass of wine at home rather than in a tavern. Second and more relevant here Nicolas' association of fine wine with fine contemporary and avant-garde art changed the way wine was marketed and perceived by the public. Nicolas' use of art to promote and communicate the qualities of wine has been much imitated since the 1920s and continues today to be used by premium wines and wineries throughout the world. <br /> <br /> Notwithstanding the contributions of the various celebrated contributing artists much of the unique character of the Nicolas Listes can be attributed to Alfred Latour 1888-1964 a French painter and engraver who worked extensively as a graphic designer for Nicolas and was a friend of Cassandre and many of the other contributing artists. After his death in 1966 his son Jean took over his position at the Établissements Nicolas Maison.<br /> <br /> A scarce collection of some of the most innovative and elegant wine marketing materials and ephemera ever produced.<br /> <br /> § OCLC suggests there are no holdings of a complete or partial run in institutions and that holdings of individual titles are scarce; a complete run of digital copies appears to be held by the Bibliothèques Patrimoniale/Forney Paris.<br /> § Oberlé Fritsch 597; Bibliothèque Forney <br /> <br /> </p> Établissements Nicolas Maison Fondée en 1822 unknown
