EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a label for the renowned Fil au Demon brand of sewing thread, dating back to the late 19th century. Created by an anonymous French School artist, this colour lithograph is now preserved in the Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France. The label design features a striking motif that immediately catches the eye - a trident-wielding beast with serpents entwined around its horns. Cloaked in vibrant red fabric, this enigmatic figure exudes an air of mystery and intrigue. Its identity remains ambiguous; some may interpret it as Lucifer or Satan himself, while others see it simply as a fearsome monster. The demon's pitchfork points towards superior quality cotton thread offered by this brand. The intertwining snakes symbolize both danger and cunning precision – qualities that any skilled seamstress would appreciate when working on their craft. While we cannot mention the specific company associated with this label due to copyright restrictions, it is clear that Fil au Demon aimed to capture attention through its devilishly enticing branding. This unique piece of art serves as a testament to the creativity and imagination present during this era. Whether you are fascinated by mythology or simply admire intricate designs from history, this print offers a glimpse into an intriguing chapter of textile history where demons and sewing threads coexisted harmoniously.
