This series comprises chocolate trade cards introduced by the French brand Guérin-Boutron. Trade cards were a prevalent promotional tool, particularly from the late 19th to early 20th centuries. These cards typically feature advertisements, illustrations, or images related to the company’s products, aiming to promote goods and enhance brand recognition.
Established in Paris, France, in AD 1775, Guérin-Boutron was a luxury brand renowned for its vanilla chocolate (and solubia chocolate), receiving gold awards at the 1889 and 1900 World Expositions. Notably, this information is also included on the reverse side of these trade cards.
Guérin-Boutron was an early adopter of color lithographic images on chocolate products, often portraying historical or popular scenes, released in smaller series.
This particular series consists of 84 trade cards depicting various historical illustrations on the obverse side, with the medal names and styles on the left.
The reverse side of each card provides historical information, including the addresses of the company’s production facilities and two retail stores in Paris. Additionally, various promotional brand slogans are featured at the bottom.

此系列為法國品牌 Guérin-Boutron 推出的巧克力貿易卡,貿易卡是一種常見的宣傳手段,特別是在19世紀末至20世紀初的時期。這些卡片通常帶有廣告、插畫或與公司產品相關的圖像,用於促進商品和提高品牌知名度。
Guérin-Boutron 是一個於公元1775年在法國巴黎創立的奢侈品牌,該品牌以香草巧克力(和solubia巧克力)聞名,該品牌在公元1889年和公元1900年獲得世界博覽會金獎(此資訊亦備標註在其貿易卡背面)。
Guérin-Boutron 早於其他在巧克力產品上貼上彩色平版印刷圖像,常見的內容有代表歷史或大眾想像中的人物。這些圖像以較小巧的系列形式發布。
此為84枚法國與外國獎章的系列貿易卡,正面繪製各式歷史插圖,左側為獎章名稱與樣式,背面標示了每張貿易卡的歷史資訊,下方則為該公司的生產工廠與在巴黎的兩間零售店的地址,以及各種宣傳品牌的廣告標語。
