EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph print titled "Q: Skittles -- Tails -- Quarrel, 1890" showcases the artistic prowess of the French School in the 19th century. Measuring at 7.6 x 11.2 cm, this piece is part of a series of advertising chromolithographs created by Bognard, a printer-publisher based in Paris around 1890. The image features an alphabet primer or abecedary as its central theme, with each letter represented by various accessories and objects. In this particular print, the letter Q is depicted through a lively scene of skittles or bowling pins engaged in a quarrel or argument. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring these animated characters to life. The artist's skillful use of lithography enhances the overall composition, adding depth and texture to every element on display. This artwork not only serves as an advertisement but also captures the essence of early nineteenth-century France. While it may be tempting to associate this print with the popular candy brand Skittles due to its title, it is important to note that there is no direct connection between them. Instead, this piece offers a delightful glimpse into a playful game involving skittles as players engage in friendly competition. Preserved within a private collection today, this remarkable work continues to captivate viewers with its rich history and artistic brilliance. Its presence serves as a testament to both French creativity and European artistry during this era.
