Ovaltine Cold Refreshing Drink Art Deco
Original antique advertising poster for The Ideal Summer Drink Ovaltine Cold Delicious Refreshing Sustaining featuring a great illustration of a smiling young lady sipping a straw from a tall glass of Ovaltine drink against a sunshine background with smaller images above and below depicting friends taking a break from a badminton sport game under the shade of the tree with a dog lying on the grass by the table, a family enjoying a picnic with the two men toasting each other, and people on a sandy beach by white cliffs sitting on deck chairs under a sun umbrella with their drinks as people swim in the sea in the distance, the stylised title text above and rest of the text in bold lettering on the margin below. Founded in Switzerland in 1904 Ovomaltine is a chocolate cocoa malt milk drink exported to the UK as Ovaltine in 1909 and based at a factory in Kings Langley Hertfordshire (the company's Art Deco building closed when production ended in 2002); the dried powder can be mixed with hot or cold milk to make the drink. Printed in England for A. Wander Ltd. King's Langley. Large size. Good condition, folds, tears, creasing, pinholes, staining.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All our antique and vintage posters, books, maps and prints listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Practically all of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves carving each colour of the image onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, we believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
We ship posters worldwide rolled in shock-resistant and hard wearing tubes. Unless specified otherwise, delivery is free within the UK and standard international delivery is £25 for orders placed via our website.
