These old illustrated price tags were used for butcher, poultry, or game stalls. Each one is illustrated with a colorful representation of the animal in question and equipped with a roller system allowing the displayed price in francs to be changed. The mentions "Perdrix" (Partridge), "Perdreau" (Young Partridge), "Lièvre" (Hare), and "Bécasse" (Woodcock) evoke the game sections of food stores during the Trente Glorieuses (the Glorious Thirty, a period of economic prosperity in France). Their meticulous advertising graphics and naturalist illustrations make them particularly decorative testimonies to traditional French food trade today.
