The Quillot Brothers had a dairy in the village of Montigny sur Vingeanne where they produced sterilized milk.

In 1897 they commissioned the Swiss artist Théophile Steinlen (1859–1923) to produce a poster advertising their product.

The result was an endearing poster that shows the artist's daughter Colette tasting a bowl of milk before giving it to the family cats, who are waiting expectantly.

Steinlen was a prolific artist, but this early work is his most successful poster.
