Epinal art served as a chronicle for the French 19th-20th centuries. They are the ancestor to our modern comic pages and books. Beautiful bright hand colored lithographs.
Print 1 - La Bergere Et Son Chat - based on a popular 1881 French melody " The Shepherdess and Her Cat"
Print 2 - J'ai Du Bon Tabac... - based on a popular 1700 French Song " I have Good Tobacco" written by Abbe de Lattaignant a wealthy poet & chansonnier.
This listing is being offered as a set of 2 - 18" H by 15.5" W and 1" D. Double matted with a kelly green border that highlights the art perfectly. Gold gilded frame is simple in style to showcase the prints. Paper backed and wired - ready to hang.
I was interested to learn that epinal art was originally made with wood and metal stencils.
The art was based on popular subjects of the time rendered in bright sharp colors. The propaganda images glorifying Napoleon created the rise in popularity. The 1st publisher of this type of art was Jean Charles Pellerin born in Epinal, who named his printing house that he founded in 1796 "Imagerie d'Epinal"
