Ramos Pinto

This iconic poster of the Ramos-Pinto Company
illustrated by Rene Vincent advertises the famous port
wine featuring two lovers in profile leaning into one
another with only a famous glass of the irresistible
Porto Ramos between their lips. An anxious cupid
awaits below with bow in hand, using the delicious
drink as his arrow. This image is still very much
associated with the company to the present date.
