A dazzling Spanish lithographed tin from the Félix Suárez confectionery in Guadalajara, likely intended for the famous bizcochos borrachos , small, alcohol-soaked cakes popular in traditional Castilian pastry. The romantic illustration on a floral background, signed "Campos," depicts a young woman and a winged cherub in a composition rich in typographic and ornamental detail. Founded in 1873, this company proudly boasted of the medals it won at the Guadalajara Provincial Exhibition. An iconic example of Spanish Art Nouveau, both sweet and seductive.
