I like the Dubonnet magazine ad from 1900 and was looking for more when these Dubonnet postcards turned up from 1914-1915...

ReplyDelete"Dubonnet was first sold in 1846 by Joseph Dubonnet, in response to a competition run by the French authorities to find a way of persuading French Foreign Legionnaires in North Africa to drink quinine.[2] Quinine combats malaria but is very bitter."
Interesting images and article. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the Dubonnet signs in the images are "real" or "photo-shopped". A "Dou Doubon Dubonnet" sign in blue and white would be authentic on French rural buildings for World War two wargaming and dioramas.
