Indian Cocoa Drink

This original 1930 French advertising poster promotes Indian Cocoa Drink, a branded cocoa beverage marketed for strength and nourishment during the interwar period. The slogan “Ça c’est du choco!” emphasizes richness and quality, a common sales pitch in French food advertising of the era. The artwork is signed by Maquenne and features a commanding painted portrait of a Native American chief in full feathered headdress. Rendered with painterly realism and dramatic color, the image draws on the early twentieth century European fascination with Indigenous imagery, often used in advertising to suggest purity, power, and natural vitality rather than historical accuracy.
