The name CARAN d'ACHE is rooted in the annals of art history. When Arnold Schweitzer founded the company in 1924, he named it after a famous French caricaturist of the Belle Epoque, Emmanuel Poire (1859-1909), whose work he admired. Poire was born in Moscow the grandson of an officer in Napoleon's Grande Armee. While his first creations glorified the Napoleonic era, he later went on to create "stories without words". A contributor to newspapers like "Lundi du Figaro", he is sometimes hailed as one of the fathers of comics. He signed his works Caran d'Ache, a French transliteration of the Russian word for pencil "karandash". A slightly modified replica of his signature became the company's brand logo for colour products. http://www.carandache.ch/company/html/en/history.htm so, ihr unglaeubigen: caran d'ache ist juenger als karandasch. caran d'ache ist eine transliteration des russischen wortes fuer bleistift, karandasch. -- = -- -- = -- -- = -- a n a . w o r d s aus dem hellblauen salon words@ana.ch http://ana.ch/words/ ana.txt seite 444 reicht ana.words weiter! _____________ ________________________ ______________________________ ____________________________________ ________________________________________ _____________________ __________________ ____________________ ___________________ ______________________ ___________________ ______________________ _____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ______________________ __ _____________ ____________ _______ _________ ___________ _______ ______________ ______ _________________ ______ ________ ____________________ _____________________ ______________________ ____________________ ___ ________________________ ____________________ ______ ________________________ __________________ _______ __ _______________________ __________________ ________ ___ ________________________ ____________________ ______ _ ________________________ ______________________ ____ __________________________ _________________________ __ ____________________________ _____________________________ ____________________________ _______________________________ ____________________________ _______________________________ ____________________________ _______________________________ ___________________________ _______________________________ ___________________________ _______________________________ ___________________________ ______________________________ ___________________________ _____________________________ ___________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ _ ___________________________ ____________________________ __ ___________________________ ___________________________ ____ ___________________________ ___________________________ _____ ___________________________ __________________________ _______ ___________________________ _________________________ ______ __________________________ ________________________ ________ __________________________ ______________________ __ __________ ___________________________ ______________________ _ _________ __ ________________________ ___________________ ___________ ________________________ ___________________ ___________ ______________________ __________________ _____________ _____________________ _________________ _____________ ____________________ ______________ ______________ ___________________ _____________ _______________ __________________ ____________ ________________ ________________ __________ ______________ _____________ ________ ______________ _________ _______ _____________________ ____ ______ ____________________________ _______________________________ ________________________ ______________ best viewed in a fixed-width font such as monaco or courier
