Two girls hold up a horseshoe on this postcard, with the French phrase "Félicité, bonne santé!" ("Happiness, good health!") printed across the card. The image belongs to the advertising world of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when illustrated postcards and posters were a common way for drinks makers to reach the public. The Campari name placed on this board ties the card to the Italian aperitif firm, which used cheerful, sentimental scenes of children and good luck to present its bitter as a wholesome, festive drink. Look closely at the horseshoe and the sweet, formal faces of the girls, which show how brands borrowed the language of domestic affection to sell alcohol.
