Description

Advertising poster promoting the toilet water "Eau de Cologne". Ornated with the royal coat of arms of France and 2 two-headed eagles. With the printed signature of A. Farina on verso. The poster praises the merits of the "Eau de Cologne", its medicinal, refreshing and stimulating properties.

From the eighteenth century, ablutions are fashionable again. Baths are recommended by the doctors and washing becomes a pleasant ritual. Heady perfumes are abandoned and everyone is looking for the famous Admirable Eau de Cologne. Jean-Marie Farina (whose name has become more French to get the attention of the gentry) delivers its fragrance throughout Europe. Its name becomes simply Eau de Cologne, as a tribute to its adoption city.
For almost two centuries, his perfume will flood the skins and handkerchiefs of the high society.


In Paris in 1806, the grandson Farina creates the Maison Jean-Marie Farina located at 331 rue Faubourg Saint-Honoré.

Some of the most asked FAQ by our clients

Librairie Loeb-Larocque specializes in maps, atlases, and travel books from the 16th to 19th centuries.
The Librairie was founded in 1958 by Louis Loeb-Larocque. Originally, he arrived in France from Germany shortly after World War II. He started an antiquarian map and book shop in Paris, specializing in early maps, atlases, travel books, and prints. The shop was located at Rue Le Peletier until 1996, and was frequently visited by collectors and fellow dealers from all parts of the world.
At present, the office is located at 31 rue de Tolbiac in Paris in the lively 13th district, a 5-minute walk from the Bibliothéque Nationale de France (Metro Line 14).
We welcome visitors to our shop by appointment, Monday through Friday.
