EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases a Chocolat Poulain Orange trade card from the 19th century. The chromolitho image features French sculptor Edme Bouchardon alongside his remarkable sculpture of Cupid fashioning a bow out of the club of Hercules. This trade card, part of a private collection, serves as both publicity and an educational tool. The artwork beautifully captures the skill and artistry of Bouchardon, who is depicted in fine detail next to his masterpiece. The contrast between the delicate figure of Cupid and the powerful club emphasizes the sculptor's ability to transform raw materials into something truly extraordinary. This trade card was likely used to promote Chocolat Poulain Orange, but it transcends its commercial purpose with its artistic merit. It invites viewers into a world where artists like Bouchardon can create beauty out of unexpected combinations. The image also evokes thoughts about weapons and their transformation into objects associated with love and desire. Cupid fashioning a bow from Hercules' club symbolizes how even destructive forces can be repurposed for more positive ends. Overall, this print offers a glimpse into history while celebrating artistry and creativity. It reminds us that even everyday items like chocolate can inspire awe when combined with exceptional talent.
