Cacao Chocolate Cocoa Dans Postcards Songs Suchard Tabac Twelve
EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration is taken from one of twelve postcards featuring traditional French songs, produced by an unknown artist in 1903. The postcard, titled "J'ai du bon tabac dans ma tabatière," showcases a cheerful scene of a French man playing his accordion and singing to a group of children. The image is adorned with intricate details, from the man's colorful attire and the children's curious expressions, to the delicate patterns on the accordion and the charming flowers in the background. The title of the postcard, "J'ai du bon tabac dans ma tabatière," translates to "I have good tobacco in my tobacco pouch," suggesting that the song being sung is a traditional French folk tune. The mention of tobacco, however, is likely a metaphor for having something of great value or joy in one's possession. The connection to chocolate or cocoa in this image is not immediately apparent, but it's worth noting that Cacao Suchard, a renowned Swiss chocolate manufacturer, produced a series of advertisements featuring traditional French songs and illustrations around the same time. It's possible that this postcard could have been part of that campaign, as the company often used nostalgic imagery to promote their products. Despite the lack of concrete evidence, this charming postcard remains a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of France and the joy of music and song that transcends time and place.
