Masterpieces

Spotted on a trip to Big Lots: made-in-China emery boards, decorated with images from famous paintings.

Why were these graphics chosen? The images would have been easy to come by, for one thing. While I wouldn't expect the manufacturer to have given it thought, it could be that the images are in the public domain—or they might seem to be, due to being famous.

A pretty Renoir woman and a couple of other designs fit the "beauty product" category well enough.

There was also the Demoiselles D'Avignon model.

Sister J. bought two designs, which I got to scan later.


I know some women react dramatically to nail breakage, but—
really, now:


These products make the case for never leaving home without a camera.

Especially since one of the designs that got away was this Van Gogh.
