EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historically significant print captures the front and reverse of a promotional card for Poulain chocolate, dating back to around 1910. Created by the French School in the 20th century, this colour lithograph showcases Galileo Galilei, an eminent Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher. The captivating illustration on the front depicts Galileo standing before members of the Holy Office in the Vatican during his infamous trial by the Inquisition. Accused of heresy for supporting Copernicus' heliocentric model of the universe, Galileo's courage and dedication to scientific truth are palpable in this portrayal. The reverse side features Galileo's signature alongside a detailed account of his remarkable life.

A true collector's item, this trade card offers a glimpse into history while showcasing Poulain chocolate as an innovative brand that embraced scientific progress. Whether you're drawn to its artistic charm or fascinated by Galileo's legacy, this print is sure to captivate anyone interested in astronomy, physics or historical marketing campaigns.
