réf. 18-2393Epinal France: Olivier-Pinot 1870-1900. Color broadside Bilderbogen 16” x 11”. Good. Some losses and tears along edges and bottom row of images missing. Mounted on paper. Text in French.Originally conceived in 1796 by Jean-Charles Pellerin in his native village of Épinal Vosges the images d'Épinal were inexpensive woodcuts and lithographs of religious and historical content intended for the commonconsumer. During the Napoleonic wars these images became extremely popular as Pellerin's printing house Imagerie d'Épinal cornered the market on commemorative historical prints. During the Great War the traditional style of these prints appealed to French artists looking to show their patriotism as in the eyes of an increasingly anti-German public the image d'Épinal came to represent a distinctly French product unmarred by foreign influence. The prints had a further appeal in that their minimalist form allowed many artists to stay true to the modernist ideals of their time. Epinal, France: Olivier-Pinot, [1870-1900]. unknown
