Victorian Afternoon Cocktail Preservation Society Bar Poster

A very serious society dedicated to a very important cause: keeping the afternoon cocktail alive.

This vintage-inspired print features two elegantly dressed Victorian women raising their glasses around the wonderfully official-sounding “The Afternoon Cocktail Preservation Society, Est. 1895.” Ornate typography, antique illustration and a softly weathered sepia finish make it look like an advertisement for a forgotten drinking club from another century.

I love how unnecessarily respectable the whole thing feels. Elaborate dresses, proper manners, decorative lettering, and cocktails before dinner, all apparently in the name of historical preservation.

A fun choice for a home bar, cocktail lounge, kitchen, dining room, speakeasy-inspired space or eclectic gallery wall, especially for cocktail lovers, vintage decor fans and anyone who considers happy hour a cultural institution.
