On domino papers, the mention "A Paris chez les Associé(s) » followed by a number is frequent. But the identity of the manufacturer remains a mystery. The workshop was installed rue Saint-Jacques in Paris and active from 1758 to 1778, but was it really Parisian? Or was it rather a group of domino manufacturers from Orleans who found a trick to escape Parisian taxes and sell their goods more easily in the capital?
1750
The original design, which is kept in the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris, is made with simple and limited colors. In this sense, it is very representative of domino papers. Indeed, the printing with engraved woodblocks was done in black, blue or red, while the stenciling was done most often using blue and / or red, occasionally yellow or green…
Domino papers can be identified by their signature. Positioned at the bottom of the sheet, it generally indicated the name of the manufacturer, its city as well as the number of the board.
In the case of this design, it indicated "A Paris chez les Associé, n° 97". With other Domino manufacturers, one could find signatures such as "In Orléans at Perdoux","In Avignon at Sevestre Leblond", "In Orléans at Jean-Baptiste Letourmy"...
