IMAGES D'ÉPINAL

Distinctive prints depicting a variety of scenes in a realistic but stereotypical manner were produced in the town of Épinal, in the Vosges, in the early nineteenth century. The prints became so popular that the term image d'Épinal has passed into the language, and is now used to refer to any form of stereotypical representation.
