The name Caran d'Ache is rooted in the annuals of art history. When Arnold Schweitzer founded the company in 1924, he named it after a famous French caricaturist Emmanuel Poiré (1859-1909), whose work he admired. Mr. Poiré signed his works Caran d'Ache, a French transliteration of the Russian word for pencil - "karandash".
