A provincial charm emanates from this delightful lithographed tin, produced for the G. Rouillon confectionery in Chartres. Against a luminous yellow background, the silhouette of Chartres Cathedral stands out on the horizon beneath stylized clouds, surrounded by ears of wheat in a deep blue with golden highlights. The poetic name "Les Épis d'Or" (The Golden Ears of Wheat) evokes both the quality of the product and the bounty of the Beauce region. The overall design, highly graphic, reflects a regional Art Deco aesthetic, combining local roots with sophisticated advertising.
