La Vache qui rit or The laughing Cow was registered as a trade name by Léon Bel in April 1921. In the beginning she wasn't laughing, she wasn't red and she didn't wear ear-rings. That was only from 1924 on.

Learn more in La vache qui rit: story of an Advertising Celebrity a virtual exhibition of the Musée de la Publicité in Paris (I hope they keep it on-line.)

  The bleu-white ribon around the box dates from 1955. It's only in 1976 that both boxes in the ears are shown with the top-side visible. Before that year we were shown a top and bottom side.

  Fromages Vignottes

Now, this is a confusing mural.
We see a speed-boat in an enormous Camembert-like cheese. The vessel carries two labels: Fromages Vignottes and MINI TRANSAT. What is the link with the brand?

And then: the warning signs for radio-activity! Left and right on the cheese-world, on the cargo and on the label with the brand name. I can't believe this is a regular ad. Is it an artwork inspired by Fromages Vignotte (without 'S') or an anti-ad from a competitor? Needs more research.
