If we compare this sketch with the black and white photo on the page devoted to Byrrh, we can say that it is most likely the first of a series of three. The colours are the same, the women look the same and are wearing the same dress. The caption for this sketch could be: "From the vine to the hood...".
Aircraft fabric - first draft (see second and third draft).
During World War I, Marcel Boussac secured the contract for aircraft fabric. In 1919, he bought all the surplus aircraft fabric at a low price and, with this indestructible material, he made blouses, soft-collar shirts, and invented pajamas. He then set up his own stores, "A la Toile d'avion," which would become successful.
Around 1860 Francesco Cirio built the first factory for canned peas. Following rapid development, he established several fruit and vegetable canning factories in southern Italy. To supply his factories, he brought abandoned lands back into cultivation. By 1900, at the time of his death, his company had become one of the largest in Europe.
The Amandines de Provence from the H. Lalo biscuit factory were almond-shaped wafers filled with a refined-tasting fondant. In 1901, Biscuits Pernot bought the H. Lalo biscuit factory in L'Isle-sur-Sorgues. Pernot would continue to produce the flagship Lalo biscuit, the Amandine de Provence, under its own brand.
