Advertising Poster for Hime Jirushi Hakone Cider Hakone & Co.
[Japan] A very nice little advertising poster for Hakone Cider that was made by Hakone & Company. Hime Jirushi means, 'Princess Brand', hence the image of a Japanese princess from olden times. The bottle label mentions that it is actually Hakone Champagne Cider so presumably this was an alcoholic beverage and not a soft drink. The company was based in Hakone and had a branch office in Yokohama.
No place [Hakone/Yokohama]. Hakone & Co. c1910. 40.8 x 19.4cm.
In good to very good condition. The metal strips at top and bottom are a bit rusted. The poster seems to have been mounted on paper that was used for another purpose as it has old Japanese writing on it. Otherwise only general age wear. e36031571
