Abstract:
Advertisement for Berlingots-Eysséric, manufactured by Gustave Eysséric, a confectioner. Card features a color illustration that is divided into two halves by the title. The bottom half shows two African men sitting on the ground in front of two straw huts. One of the men is holding a spear and watching the other man, who is starting a fire by rubbing a stick against a plank. A small plume of white smoke is rising the plank. Next to the men is a camp fire cooking a piece of meat, which is suspended above the flames from a string attached to a wooden tripod. The upper half of the illustration shows a white man in a factory, removing a shining ingot of metal from a furnace. He is wearing a leather apron and inspecting the ingot on the end of a long metal pole.
