About the Item

Very Rare Original Vintage Poster-Steinlen-Coffee Chocolate Tea-Cat, 1895 In this family-friendly lithograph for the chocolate and tea company Compagnie Française des Chocolats et Thés Steinlen has portrayed a homely scene in which the artist brings together his loved ones: his wife Emilie, his daughter Colette and one of the countless cats he has collected, drew and painted throughout his life. Colette had already served as a model in 1894 for the Sterilized Milk of the Vingeanne poster by the printer Charles Verneau. It became one of the most appreciated and sought after posters by collectors. Steinlen used his daughter's face again to portray the young woman of the Comiot Motorcycles poster in 1899. The warm atmosphere of the poster is enhanced by the colours used by the artist who focuses the viewer's attention on the girl's face. She is defending her bowl of chocolate from the cat perched on the table. It was Steinlen’s love for cats that designated him to paint the poster that became a true icon for Paris and Montmartre: the Black Cat Cabaret of Rodolphe Salis. Introduced to Salis by Aristide Bruant, Toulouse-Lautrec and Willette, Steinlen was a regular visitor upon his arrival in Paris, from 1882 to 1887. Later he preferred family life, unlike many artists of the bohemian Paris. (Source Digital Library of Lyon) The chocolate factory of the Compagnie Française des Chocolats et des Thés was founded in 1871 in Strasbourg. It later became the property of the Schall Company.

F. Bouisset, Original Art Nouveau Poster, Chocolat Poulain, Cocoa, Pierrot, 1898
By Firmin Bouisset
Located in SAINT-OUEN-SUR-SEINE, FR
Original Cocoa Poster by Firmin Bouisset for Chocolat Poulain in 1898. Artist: Firmin Bouisset (1859-1925) Title: Chocolat Poulain Date: vers 1898 Size: 36.6 x 50.8 in / 93 x 129 cm. Printer: Imp. H.LAAS E. PECAUD & Cie, Paris Materials and Techniques: Colour lithograph on paper Linen backing: Yes Condition: A (Designates a poster in very good condition. The colours are fresh and there are no or very few paper losses. If there are imperfections they are marginal and imperceptible.) Additional Details: Advertising poster for Poulain Chocolates produced by Firmin Bouisset circa 1898. Chocolat Poulain is a French company producing chocolate since its foundation in February 1848 by Victor-Auguste Poulain, confectioner in Blois. The horse/foal is the emblem of the company. Firmin Bouisset chose here to represent the brand by a Pierrot holding a chocolate bar in his hand. Pierrot's traditional tears have been replaced with chocolate smeared all over his face. The Pierrot is known for his naivety but also and above all for being trustworthy, and that's probably what Bouisset wanted to highlight here: you can eat Chocolat Poulain with your eyes closed. Firmin Bouisset, born September 2, 1859 in Moissac and died March 19, 1925 in Paris, is a French illustrator, lithographer and poster artist. He was received at the School of Fine Arts in March 1880 in the class of Alexandre Cabanel, and exhibited two paintings the same year at the Salon. He became known especially for his advertising posters, including the small schoolboy LU biscuits, paper cigarette JOB, and the girl's chocolate Menier...
