EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print showcases the renowned French novelist Alexandre Dumas (1803-1870) in all his glory. The image, part of a private collection, captures the essence of Dumas during an exhibition in Bordeaux. It depicts him receiving the prestigious diploma of honor, the highest accolade bestowed upon him at that time. Dumas, widely celebrated for his literary masterpieces such as "The Three Musketeers" is depicted here surrounded by swords and other ephemera symbolizing adventure and intrigue. This evocative portrayal highlights not only his immense talent as a writer but also his contribution to French culture and history. The trade card featured in this print adds another layer to its narrative. It advertises Chocolat Louit, a popular chocolate brand from late 19th-century France. The juxtaposition of Dumas with this delectable product creates an interesting contrast between literature and indulgence. Intricate illustrations depicting battles and castles further enhance the historical context within which Dumas's novels were set. They transport us back to 17th-century France, where fictional characters came alive amidst grandiose castle complexes and fairy tale-like dwellings. Overall, this print offers a glimpse into both the personal life of Alexandre Dumas and the cultural milieu he inhabited. It serves as a visual testament to his enduring legacy as one of France's most beloved authors while also showcasing elements of advertising history through its inclusion of Chocolat Louit trade cards.
