About the Poster:
A charming vintage French travel poster printed in the 1950s designed by J.-B. Jannot for Chocolate Menier. Recently linen-backed, this poster would look absolutely amazing framed, perfect for any children's room!
The Menier Chocolate company was a chocolate manufacturing business founded in 1816 as a pharmaceutical manufacturer in Paris, France, at a time when chocolate was used as a medicinal product. The company grew throughout the 1820s to 1880s, gaining worldwide popularity. The company even exhibited at the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago where they were billed as the leading chocolate makers in the world!
Despite the Menier Chocolate company's strong brand recognition and an effective marketing of children's books utilizing the fables of Jean de la Fontaine, by the 1950s the industry leader in France was being swamped by its competitors. This poster represents one of their last promotional campaigns; the following decade (1960) they would be forced to merge with the Cacao Barry company.

This is a splendid pictorial map of the world by Chotolat Menier. The map features 120 images of explorers, plants, animals, and structures from around the world. Three small inserts present maps of the Congo, India and Tibet, and Israel. A red line of travel connects each place name on the map and the seas are colored by their distance from the equator.
The Menier Chocolate Company was founded in 1816 as a pharmaceutical manufacturer in Paris, France, at a time when chocolate was used as a medicinal product and was only one part of the overall business. The business grew rapidly but for the first few years the company's production of chocolate was very limited, as its primary usage was as a medicinal powder and for coating bitter-tasting pills. In 1893 the company began using advertising posters created by Firmin Bouisset featuring a little girl using a piece of chocolate to write the name Chocolat Menier on a wall or window. The small girl's sweet innocence conveyed the sweet chocolate message through her "chocolate graffiti". It proved to be a h
