Since the idea is to whet the appetite, an initial reflection leads him to choose a key. From this element, he drew the profile of a small, paunchy figure, and found a graphic invention: the man leans back and drinks from the bottle, while a gigantic key, parallel to the bottle, enters his stomach. It's absolutely original, all the more so as Cassandre deploys all her science to catch the eye of passers-by. "GASTOU François-Régis. Affichistes du Siècle.
