Henri Fantin-Latour (1836 – 1904) was born Ignace Henri Jean Théodore Fantin-Latour in Grenoble, France in 1836. A painter and lithographer, he is best known for his flower paintings, but he produced many other kinds of work, including several group portraits that are important historical documents and show his friendship with leading avant-garde artists and writers.

In spite of his association with such progressive artists, Fantin-Latour was essentially a traditionalist. Much of his later career was devoted to lithography; he greatly admired Richard Wagner and did imaginative lithographs illustrating his music and that of other composers. His wife Victoria Dubourg (1840-1926) was also a painter, mainly of flower pieces.

This is part 11 of a 13-part series on the works of Henri Fantin-Latour. For biographical notes see part 1. For earlier works see parts 1-10 also.

Trade cards first became popular at the end of the 17th century in Paris, Lyon, and London. They functioned as advertising and also as maps, directing the public to merchant's stores, as no formal street address numbering system existed at the time.

One of the oldest trade cards, printed in Lyon and designed by Thomas Blanchet in 1674 for the firm of Anthony Warrior:

A trade card from around 1730-1742 for a furnishing store, from the V & A Museum collection in London:

There were custom cards printed for specific products, and generic stock cards that could be used for any product:

Jones and Davis, Central Falls, RI

Trade cards were popular for medicines (including a number of quack remedies), sewing products, farming equipment and a range of other products. Some rare Victorian trade cards are now worth thousands of dollars, for example cards advertising Clipper Ships travelling from the East Coast to California in the 1860s. Many can be picked up for a few dollars on online auction sites.

Clark's Mile-End Spool Cotton

Victorian trade cards became an early form of collectible advertising, particularly in the United States. Popularised after the Civil war by businesses, they offer a colourful and diverse look at popular culture and society in the late 1800s.

The advent of lithography in the 1870s made it possible to mass-produce them in colour, leading to a golden age from 1876 to the early 1900s, when halftone printed newspaper and magazine advertisements became more economical.

Trade cards typically had a picture on one side and an advertisement on the other.

Mrs Winslow's Soothing Syrup

Victorian trade cards became an early form of collectible advertising, particularly in the United States. Popularised after the Civil war by businesses, they offer a colourful and diverse look at popular culture and society in the late 1800s.

The advent of lithography in the 1870s made it possible to mass-produce them in colour, leading to a golden age from 1876 to the early 1900s, when halftone printed newspaper and magazine advertisements became more economical.

Trade cards typically had a picture on one side and an advertisement on the other.

Lithograph of David Roberts

Roberts was born in 1796 in Stockbridge, near Edinburgh, where he was first apprenticed as a house painter. He became a scenic artist, active in the north, before moving to London in 1822.

He became an inveterate traveller, his most celebrated expeditions being those to Spain and North Africa in 1832 – 33, and to Egypt and the Holy Land. His work became widely known through the prints made from his works. Roberts died in London in 1864. He left a Manuscript Journal and a ‘Thumbnail Sketch’ Journal, recording 252 of his oil paintings, which remain in private collections.

1832 – 33 Spain

In 1832 David Roberts travelled to Spain and Tangiers. He returned at the end of 1833 with a supply of sketches that he elaborated into paintings that became very popular. He executed a series of Spanish illustrations for the “Landscape Annual” of 1836. Then in 1837 a selection of his “Picturesque Sketches of Spain” was reproduced by lithography by Hodgson & Graves of Pall Mall, London.

1838 – 52 Egypt and the Holy Land

Roberts travelled to Egypt at the end of August 1838. His intent was to produce sketches he could later use as the basis for both paintings and for lithographs. Egypt was much in vogue at the time, and travellers, collectors, and lovers of antiquities were ken to buy works inspired by the east or depicting the great monuments of ancient Egypt.

Roberts made a long tour of Egypt, Nubia, the Sinai, the Holy Land, Jordan and Lebanon. Throughout, he produced a vast collection of drawings and watercolour sketches. On his return to England, Roberts worked with lithographer Louis Haghe between 1842 and 1849 to produce the lavishly illustrated plates for the series “ The Holy Land,, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt & Nubia.” He funded the work through advance subscriptions, which he solicited directly. Roberts accumulated 400 subscription commitments, with Queen Victoria being Subscriber No. 1. Her complete set is still in the Royal Collection.

David Roberts Esq. in the Dress He Wore in Palestine, by Robert Scott Lauder 1840

David Roberts RA (1796 – 1864) was a Scottish painter. He is especially known for a prolific series of detailed lithographic prints of Egypt and the Near East that he produced as watercolour sketches he made during long tours of the region between 1838 and 1940. These, along with his large format oil paintings of similar subjects, made him a prominent Orientalist artist. He became a Royal Academician in 1841.

For more information on Roberts and for earlier works, see part 1 also.

I stumbled across this set of cigarette cards in the New York Public Library Digital Collection and thought they were rather fun.Produced by the British American Tobacco Company in 1928 they're odd yet beautiful. Each of the 50 cards in the series (for some reason I could only source 49 of them) features a different butterfly girl and a description about the particular (real) butterfly or moth on the reverse.

≪ Previous: Butterfly & Moth Girls - cigarette cards - part 1

I stumbled across this set of cigarette cards in the New York Public Library Digital Collection and thought they were rather fun.Produced by the British American Tobacco Company in 1928 they're odd yet beautiful. Each of the 50 cards in the series (for some reason I could only source 49 of them) features a different butterfly girl and a description about the particular (real) butterfly or moth on the reverse.

W. Heath Robinson by C D Ward

William Heath Robinson (1872 – 1944) was an English illustrator and cartoonist, best known for his drawings of complicated machines for achieving simple objectives. “Heath Robinson Contraption” is a phrase that entered the language during WW1 in Britain, and later in the United States. There are few artists whose name has passed into the language, but Chambers’ Dictionary has the following:

Heath-Robinson: adj used to describe an over-ingenious, ridiculously complicated or elaborate mechanical contrivance.

William Heath Robinson was born into a family of artists – his father Thomas Robinson and brothers Thomas Heath Robinson and Charles Robinson were all successful illustrators. From 1887, he studied at Islington Art School (London), for three years, before moving to the Royal Academy.

William wrote and illustrated three highly successful children’s books (The Adventures of Uncle Lubin 1902, Bill the Minder 1912, Peter Quip in Search of a Friend 1933) as well as illustrating numerous others.

In the run up to WW1, Robinson became known for a series of drawings in magazines such as The Sketch and The Tatler,many of which I will be featuring in this comprehensive look at his work.
