A high definition reproduction of the advertising poster "Bouillon Vatel, French product " by illustrator Eugène Ogé.
Vatel was one of the greatest French cooks, a symbol of gastronomy in the world. The Grand Condé enlisted his services and entrusted him with the heavy task of organizing, in honor of King Louis XIV, a banquet and festivities lasting 3 days and 3 nights for 3000 guests (the King's court). Vatel did not sleep for 12 nights, he was so overwhelmed by the heavy task he faced. On the 3rd day, however, he did not see the food arrive for the dish of the day - fresh fish in large quantities from Boulogne sur Mer. Vatel ended up putting an end to his life, at the very moment when life was leaving him, the convoy of carts gorged with fish entered the courtyard of the Grand Condé estate...

Poster Vintage's opinion : Ogé's drawing takes up the popular imagination of the Age of Enlightenment by depicting a chubby but gourmet Vatel while being finely coiffed and dressed, delicately holding a cube of stock.
