Catalogue of Liqueur and Vodka Products, (1957)

This is a striking example of Soviet trade-industry design ephemera: an internal product catalogue produced for the RSFSR alcohol industry by Rosglavspirt and issued through the specialized “Prodoformlenie” art-design combine, whose function was the visual design and packaging of Soviet food and drink products. Each rendered in vivid gouache-style illustration alongside its precise composition, alcohol content, and sugar content: Anise Liqueur, Mint Liqueur, Crystal Liqueur, Ukrainian Vodka with Pepper, Autumn Bitters, Orange Bitters, Rowan Bitters, “Stolichnaya” Vodka, and dozens more.
