Usine du Bazar du Voyage. 1872.
Chéret provides a detailed look inside the Bazar du Voyage, a world-renowned factory and retailer founded by Alexis Godillot and M. Walker in 1843. Initially, Godillot drew on his father’s leather working business to create a general factory for travel articles specializing in trunks, camping materials, and military equipment. During the Revolution of 1848, his company became a vital outfitter of the National Guard and the Piedmontese and French armies in Algeria. Thereafter, military production became a priority, but Godillot also adapted their offerings to suit consumer needs. By 1872, as Chéret notes, they offered tents, garden furniture, and gymnastics equipment. The factory itself was located at 42 Rue Rochechouart while the walk-in retail store found a home a 3 Place de l’Opéra. This is a rare, unsigned two-sheet poster.
