It became famous for its brightly-colored mass-market prints depicting popular subjects, such as military histories, folk stories, and religious subjects. In its early years, the print house used wood blocks for printing designs, but around the 1850s, transitioned to using lithographic stones. After printing, the designs would be hand colored, using a stencil. The prints are an early example of popular mass-media as they appealed to the average consumer in an age where information was not yet widely accessible and were brought to cities, as well as rural areas by mobile peddlers. The term \"imagerie d'Épinal\" later became a popular French idiom to describe a simplistic, overly positive, naive view of reality. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Épinal print depicts the official military dress of the Chasseurs Alpins, an elite army unit trained for cold, mountain conditions.
