EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a young German banker diligently weighing Deutschmarks, surrounded by an array of coins and currency. Part of a series of promotional cards on currencies in different countries, this particular image was published in Paris by Baster & Vieillemard for the renowned chocolate producer, Chocolat Ibled, between 1886 and 1895. The attention to detail is remarkable as we see Wilhelm I, the first German Emperor from 1871 to 1888, depicted on one of the coins placed at the top right corner. The other coins on the table proudly display the eagle symbol of the German Empire and are dated back to 1879. During this era, department stores and manufacturers sought innovative ways to entice customers into their shops or encourage further purchases. These attractively produced cards were particularly popular among children who eagerly collected them week after week. In this vintage card's composition, we witness a young boy with a fur hat intently focused on his task. His profile reveals determination and professionalism beyond his years. The scale before him serves as a reminder of his role as a banker entrusted with handling money. This advertisement not only promotes Chocolat Ibled but also provides insight into Germany's banking system during the late 19th century. It showcases both historical significance and artistic charm that make it an intriguing collectible for enthusiasts interested in finance, history, or simply appreciating fine art prints like this one from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection.
