Author: FABRÈS, Oscar
Title: Frank Schoonmaker Selection. Collection of wine prints. In envelope handwritten by Fabrès. C.1949.
Description: 12 wine labels in color pasted on five sheets (about 31 x 23 cm) of drawing paper, and two black and white advertisement pages with illustrated advertisements. The latter are somewhat puckered and spotted. With a large, yellow-brown envelope (25 x 33 cm), addressed in pen by Fabrès to his wife and mother-in-law in Laren, North Holland. With handwritten sender's address and two American postage stamps (3 and 15 cents), and matching cancels (dated July 27, 1949). The twelve wine labels all refer to Frank Schoonmaker (1905-1976), a wine and travel writer who did much to market American wine. The two advertisements refer to 'American Champagne' of Almadén and Korbel. The Fabrès labels were still used in the 1970s, more than ten years after his death. But these are very early examples, sent to Grandma (his mother's wife) and perhaps intended for a scrapbook.
