Provenance:
From the residual estate inventory of The Golden Griffin Gallery/Arts Inc.,
operated in New York City, New York from the 1950s to the 1970s. In the
1950s, the Gallery formed a partnership with Pellerin Imagerie, becoming the
sole distributor for Pellerin Imagerie in North America.
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.
