Subject
Huard Company (1863-1987) located in Châteaubriant in Loire-Atlantique manufactured agricultural equipment. In 1913, the company had about 140 employees at its Châteaubriant site and an annual production of 5,000 plows and 540 seed drills for animal traction. At that time, the company was the leading producer of plows on the French market.

Description:
A farmer has just used his double Brabant type B plow in his field. He is very proud of it. On the poster, the slogan: "Burzudus Eo!" is translated from Breton by Jules Huard as: "She is wonderful!" This poster follows the black-and-white photographed sketch attached. A larger copy (1914008Z1) was printed on fabric.
