He produced only a handful of posters, most of them for the motor industry, between 1920 and 1930. This one, made for a crowded market of aperitifs and anise liqueurs, is described by specialists as one of the most famous and whimsical posters in advertising history — the monkey did what the copy could not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow we arrived at the price\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe would rather show our working than ask you to take a number on trust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine 1925 stone lithographs of this poster, linen-backed and in the full 140 × 99 cm format, are offered by specialist dealers in the region of \u003cstrong\u003eUSD 3,800 to 6,000\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn offset lithograph in the original format realised \u003cstrong\u003eUSD 1,875\u003c\/strong\u003e at auction against a USD 1,000–1,500 estimate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis piece is neither: a later reproduction at roughly half the original size. Its value is decorative rather than collectable, and it sits in the same bracket as any well-framed reproduction poster of comparable size and condition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn its favour: it is already framed and glazed, the colours are clean and strong, and it is a genuinely great image.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn that basis we have priced it at \u003cstrong\u003eAED 750\u003c\/strong\u003e.
