Publications nouvelles de la maison Goupil & Cie ... Jean Boussod, Manzi, Joyant & Cie
A Paris trade catalogue issued in 1897 by the print publisher Goupil & Cie to advertise its new reproductive engravings and photogravures to dealers and collectors. The plates show landscapes, a portrait of a woman, and seascapes with sailing boats, reproduced in soft grey halftone. A designer might take from them the tonal, misty atmosphere of late nineteenth-century French painting, with its shadowed tree-lined roads and calm water under heavy skies.
