EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from the 19th century showcases a unique collaboration between art and advertising. Titled "Capital C and Cat" this print is part of an alphabet series created by French School artists for Besnier chocolate. Measuring 12 x 7.5 cm, this small yet vibrant artwork features a beautifully illustrated capital letter 'C' accompanied by an adorable cat. The rich colors and intricate details bring these subjects to life, making them leap off the page. Published around 1890, this piece was originally used as a menu card for Chocolaterie Besnier in Le Mans. The series of menu cards were designed in chromolithography on an animal theme, adding a touch of whimsy to the dining experience. Beyond its decorative purpose, this print also serves as an educational tool. It functions as an alphabet primer or abecedary, allowing children to learn their letters while being entertained by charming illustrations. The fusion of artistry and marketing is evident in this work, showcasing how advertisements can be transformed into beautiful pieces of visual storytelling. With its nod to zoology and natural history, it appeals not only to confectionery enthusiasts but also those interested in the natural sciences. Preserved within a private collection today, this chromolithograph offers us a glimpse into the artistic techniques and commercial strategies employed during the late nineteenth century in France.
