This original retro mid-century modern poster is vintage advertising for the shortbread cookies of an old French company, Sable du Mans. Wikipedia, the source of all arcane cookie-related knowledge, informs us that "the sable was a cookie created for the first time in 1670, in a town called Sablé-sur-Sarthe. The French word sable means "sand": at the beginning of the recipe, the baker rubs cold butter into flour and sugar to form particles of dough resembling sand." The sable is a French shortbread cookie known for its crumbly texture. They hail from Normandy, and according to Martha Stewart, are fantastic dipped in chocolate, sandwiched with jam, or great on their own!
