Magazine ad of Asse's poster design.

A stunning design with the Briand Cognac bottle set atop a huge diamond that shimmers in it's brilliance. Creating a magical design that leaves no doubt as to the brilliance of the cognac bearing the Briand name.

Briand Cognac

"The Briand trading house was founded in 1835. After the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, George Briand, took Edgar Boutillier as a partner and the house traded under the name Boutillier, Briand et Cie. A second distillery, the first one in Cognac to use steam, opened in 1881. In 1902 George Briand, like many owners of trading houses before and after him, was elected mayor of Cognac, a position he kept for ten years. In 1920 George Briand retired and left the trading house in the hands of Jean Boutillier and a new partner, Robert de Laurière. Following his death two years later, the name was changed to Boutillier et de Laurière before becoming in the late 1960s de Laurière et Cie.

The Briand brand was kept and developed. With vineyards in Archiac (Petite Champagne), St-Même, St-Preuil, and Segonzac (Grande Champagne), de Laurière et Cie was an important trading house."
