In 1796, Jean Charles Pellerin set up the “Imagerie d’Epinal” and popularized printed images of everyday scenes. In 1810, Imagerie d’Epinal make woodcuts of Napoleon by Francois Georgin, a renowned engraver of that time. These were printed on Arches paper, from the town of Arches (which was a near town to Epinal). In 1880, Imagerie began to print flyers for businesses and political parties, alphabet literature and other educational materials, riddles, illustrated songs, paper cutouts and plates of soldiers. “Le Chat Botte,” “Cadet Roussel” and “Pierrete” were made at that time. Between 1880 and WWI, Imagerie sold more than 10 million pictures per year worldwide and in many languages. The arrival of modern media slowed business after WWI substantially. Épinal, France is best known for the "Images d'Épinal" - which is now a common expression in French language - the popular prints created by a local company, Imagerie Pellerin and the Pellerin family.
These pochoir (hand painted using templates) woodcuts of military subjects, Napoleonic history, storybook characters and other folk themes were widely distributed throughout the 19th century. less
