This is a poster for a brand of coffee. From 1903 Leonetto Cappiello began creating fantastical figures or animals in his posters. These then became associated with the product and thus became a form of brand character. His use of dynamic figures leaping or dancing out of their plain backgrounds towards the spectator made his designs highly successful. Some were repeated for more than 20 years.
