1890? 1
French card, "Le Singe du Buffon," from Chocolat Besnier, Le Mans. Just over
2¾" x just over 4". Lith. Parisienne, Rue Courbeau, Paris. Unknown source,
August, '01.
This full-color
portrait-formatted card has an image framed with a blue line, with four gold-and-blue
corners like old photo-holders from albums. It is marked "1", and has its title
on the picture side. The verso is given completely to advertising Besnier's chocolate. The
boldest boast is "1re Marque Française."
