About the Artwork

Mauzan’s bright bedside scene on a dark ground

The Vio bedside poster places a smiling woman in a brightly colored bed against a deep black field. She holds a small bottle in one hand and a glass in the other. Her pale nightcap, patterned sleeve and yellow bedding create an animated cluster of light shapes.

Artwork and design

A blue shadow extends beneath the bed, while a tiny patterned lamp marks the right edge of the scene. Large pale yellow Vio letters occupy the lower half, followed by tightly arranged Italian wording. Mauzan’s signature appears to the left, separated from the central figure by a wide area of darkness.

About this design

Achille Mauzan created this historical pharmaceutical advertisement for Stabilimenti Farmaceutici SIA in Turin. The Museo Nazionale Collezione Salce dates the design to 1921 and identifies the bedside figure with bottle and glass. Its comic expression and theatrical contrast show how a pharmacy product could be given a vivid personality through commercial illustration.

Rooms and interiors

Use it in a bedroom, dressing area or study devoted to vintage graphics. The dark ground can sit comfortably beside black furniture, while yellow accents connect with the bedding and lettering. Give the picture enough space for the small bedside details to balance the very large brand name.
