RELIURE EN CUIVRE CONTENANT 3 OUVRAGES : 200 PHOTOGRAVURES DU XIXE SIÈCLE - ALBUM NATIONALE, BOULANGER EDITEUR PARIS ET CAMPAGNE DE 1799 AVEC TYPOGRAVURE DE GOUPIL PARIS

This fascinating object is a composite collection bringing together, under a single copper binding, three distinct publications from the late 19th century. The unifying element of this set is the illustration technique: photogravure, a photomechanical process that revolutionised illustrated publishing by enabling the faithful and serial reproduction of photographs. The gem of this binding is undoubtedly the series of two hundred views that forms the core of the work, offering an exceptional visual panorama of French society at the time. The set also includes "l'Album National", published by Boulanger in Paris, and a work dedicated to the Campaign of 1799, which bears the stamp of the famous Maison Goupil. The mention "Typogravure Goupil, Paris" attests to the care taken in printing these plates. Founded in the 19th century, Goupil & Cie dominated the world market for prints and photography, collaborating with the greatest artists. Their typogravure process ensured unparalleled quality.
