FIRMIN BOUISSET

1859–1925

Bouisset is probably most famous for his posters for the French chocolate
manufacturer Menier. Bouisset used his daughter Yvonne as a model to create
what became an iconic image of a little girl using a piece of chocolate to write
the company’s name. Bouisset’s work was part of Jules Chéret’s Maîtres de
l’Affiche poster series. The poster at right was created in 1893.
