EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Arnica" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a charming advertisement produced by Chocolat Felix Pontin. The image features a young girl, adorned with a boater hat and delicate ribbons, holding a bouquet of vibrant arnica flowers. These beautiful blooms were used in the production of an ointment that was believed to have medicinal properties for the skin. The illustration transports us to a time when advertisements were works of art themselves, capturing both the attention and imagination of viewers. The French School's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, from the intricate patterns on the girl's dress to the lifelike depiction of each flower petal. This piece not only serves as an advertisement but also provides insight into social history and cultural practices during this era. It offers glimpses into French culture and showcases how products like chocolates were marketed at that time. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are reminded of a bygone era when trade cards held significance beyond their commercial use. They served as windows into different worlds - inviting consumers to indulge in both visual beauty and delectable treats offered by chocolatiers like Felix Pontin. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem for us all to appreciate its artistic value while providing valuable insights into advertising techniques employed during this period.
