EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating trade card from the 19th century takes us back to a time when theatre and chocolate were intertwined in the most delightful way. The Chocolat Guerin-Boutron trade card features a scene from William Shakespeare's renowned play, Macbeth. In this colourful lithograph, we see Macbeth himself standing amidst three mysterious witches who hold an air of enchantment around them. The attention to detail is remarkable as each character is brought to life with vivid colours and intricate costumes. A portrait of Shakespeare himself is inset within the card, paying homage to the brilliant playwright behind this timeless tragedy. As we gaze upon this print, our imagination transports us to a bustling sweet shop or candy store where these cards would have been distributed alongside delectable chocolates. It was a clever marketing strategy that combined two beloved forms of entertainment - theatre and indulgent treats. The theatrical nature of the image captures the essence of drama and intrigue that surrounds Macbeth's story. The witches' presence adds an element of mystery and foreboding, while Macbeth's expression hints at his internal struggle between ambition and morality. This trade card serves as both a piece of artistry and historical documentation; it encapsulates an era when plays were performed on grand stages, actors became household names through their portrayal of iconic characters, and chocolate was enjoyed as a luxurious pleasure for all senses. In preserving this exquisite print from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, we are reminded not only of the enduring power of Shakespeare's
