Printed on wood or lithographic stone, these images illustrated a text or a song and were sometimes designed to be colored in at a later stage. Printed in Épinal, Montbéliard, Metz, or Wissembourg in the nineteenth century, they were meant for children and kept under censorship. A few of them were produced by the Decker brothers in Montbéliard, but in Metz, Pont-à-Mousson, and Wissembourg they occupied a quarter or a third of the catalogues. However, a number of differences remained between them. Whereas in Metz they were rather playful things, in Pont-à-Mousson they illustrated books and in Wissembourg were used for teaching purposes. Besides, some of them were religious keepsakes given to children for their first Catholic communion or for their Protestant confirmation. Our study lists and analyzes all their different themes and mentions the official regulations under which they were published. Aside from remnant popular themes such as No credit given here, or Who’s wearing the trousers— these being religious icons and prayers that originated in the Middle Ages—, most of the production was only meant for children. When fairy tales and textbooks appeared, published by Parisian editors, images fought for survival in commercial advertisements in Épinal or on public house posters in Wissembourg, but their time was definitely over.
