In 1796, Jean Charles Pellerin set up the “Imagerie d’Epinal” and
popularized printed images of everyday scenes. Printed on Arches paper, these
pochoir (hand painted using templates) woodcuts of military subjects,
Napoleonic history, storybook characters and other folk themes were widely
distributed throughout the 19th century. In 1880, Imagerie began to print
flyers for businesses and political parties, alphabet literature and other
educational materials, riddles, illustrated songs, paper cutouts and plates of
soldiers.
