Steinlen, Unique Vintage Poster, Coffee Chocolate Tea, Mother Daughter Cat, 1895

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.
