A kangaroo was one of the earliest live animation advertisers of cognac. An artist called Georges Maresté (1875-1940) made the above advertisement to promote Prunier Cognac sales in Australia early in the 1920s. Many Maresté works featured his birthplace of Cognac, France, which is, of course, itself the birthplace of cognac brandy. Prunier has a history of 250 years of selling cognac, so it’s unlikely to have rued the day it roo-d the day by using Australia’s national animal to plug its wares down under.
