Enamel plaque representing Bécassine 1st half of the twentieth century

Enamel plaque representing bécassine 1st half of the twentieth century. Bécassine is a french children's comic strip character created by screenwriter jacqueline rivière and cartoonist émile-joseph-porphyre pinchon, who first appeared in the first issue of the weekly la semaine de suzette on february 2, 1905. It relates a blunder actually committed by the author's breton servant. The name "bécassine" is chosen by elimination to refer to this blunder: "stupidity", "woodcock" then "bécassine" which designates a round and naïve girl. The character of bécassine met with such success that he reappeared on the front page of no. 23 for "le livre d'or de bécassine" in july 1905, then in new plates that appeared regularly, always as a punctual filler. The character has been the subject of several film adaptations, including two films and an animated feature film, all french, the latter entitled bécassine et le trésor viking. Support: enamel. Dimensions: 15 X 15 cm. Condition: good general condition (see photos) Period: 1st half of the twentieth century.
