notes:

This design for a printer's trade card takes the form of the popular "medley" print, in which as many examples of the kinds of printing that the firm is able to produce are displayed in ordered chaos, spread out as if on a table for viewing. It includes quite a detailed map of Sicily, the lyrics to the popular chansons 'Il pleut, il pleut, bergere' and 'Regne heureux', a rendering of Watteau's painting 'Pierrot', and a calendar for "L'An XI", i.e. 1802.
