An hommage to the cinema development in 1908 & to famous artists like F. Poulot, JL Forain, Caran d'Ache. "Forain" (1852-1931) the famous painter admired by Toulouse-Lautrec. Caran d'Ache (1858-1909) French cartoonist & caricaturist. One can also see one the free masonry main symbols, the pyramid & knowledge eye -also on the US one dollar notes- like holding a bone. Others of his works portray a skull, calm and mineral in the tradition of the 'memento mori' of the classics, a spiritual symbol which, like the power of destiny, puts everything in its proper place by a pure act of attention.
