A completely unrecorded Les Grilles, most likely
of Swiss manufacture, and similar in
dimensions to the grilles shown in Gantner's
1908 poster (segment shown below) protesting
against the Vaud anti-absinthe referendum.
The same distinctive three-legged
scalloped-edged grille is also featured several
times in Gantner's drawings for the Swiss
satirical journal Guguss (1913 image at right,
