Chocolat Payroud Scraps

Title

Chocolat Payroud Scraps

Description

1900? Fifteen scraps advertising Chocolat Payraud. Prose texts on the verso "d'Après J. de la Fontaine." $50 for the group from Luc deGrauwe, Ghent, Belgium, through eBay, Sept, '10.

What a lovely, fragile group of fable illustrations. The colors are still vivid, even though the pieces are often slightly torn or bent. The cut, uneven edges raise a question whether these scraps came in the form they now have or were perhaps cut or punched out by the user. My favorite among these lovely fifteen scraps is TB. A friend with moustache is just grasping the tree which he will climb, and his partner is flat on the ground as the bear approaches with arms extended. I have seen some scraps before, but I cannot recall seeing such a lovely collection. Searching on the web revealed no others available at this time. You may have to space down to see the images below.
