F. L. Cailler's / Chocolat Suisse. ca. 1900

Lot Passed

Artist: ANONYMOUS Size: 19 7/8 x 31 1/2 in./50.4 x 79.8 cm F.L. Cailler was not only the first producer of chocolate in Switzerland, he was also the first manufacturer to perfect the art of making chocolate smooth enough to form into bars. The chocolate advertised in this poster not only showcases that invention, but also alludes to the fact that in 1875, the company started using the condensed milk from the nearby Nestlé factory to create milk chocolate. This is the French-language, smaller format version of this poster.

B/ Tears at folds & edges.
