Product Information
Creator: The original illustrations are often attributed to René Ackermann and were produced by the Camille Burckardt company.
Location: The company was located in Wissembourg, in the Alsace region near the French-German border.
Purpose: These lithographs, known as "Wissembourg" prints or "images d'Épinal," were popular as educational charts, decorations for festival halls, or were designed as cut-out games and puppets for children. The arched bottom of this image suggests it might have been designed to be cut out for a game or display.
