Nestlé's founder, the Swiss-German pharmacist Henri Nestlé, launched his milk flour (a flour with added milk) in Vevey, Switzerland. The story began in 1866, when the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company opened the first condensed milk factory in Europe in Switzerland. In 1867, Henri Nestlé developed an innovative infant food, and in 1904 Nestlé made its first foray into the chocolate market. In 1905, the company he founded merged with Anglo-Swiss. In 1929 Nestlé bought Peter-Cailler-Kohler, Switzerland's largest chocolate maker, which later became the Nestlé Group as we know it today (source: nestle.ch).
PIERRE COURONNE: Pierre Couronne had a long career as a painter and publicist in Paris. Passionate about drawing and painting, this native of Salindrois (Gard, Occitanie) moved to Paris at a very young age (1946) to practise his talents, which he perfected by attending the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. A little later, he specialised in illustrations for advertisements, the most famous of which are for Bic ballpoint pens, Omo washing powder, luxury goods and many others, such as the national lottery, under the name Pierrot. He was an illustrator of children's books. At the end of the 1970s, he chose to return to live in his native Cévennes. (Source: bedetheque.com)
