Duplessis, Georges, 1834-1899 · 1881

"The various methods [of printing represented] are Phototypie (collotype), Heliogravure, Photoglyptie (Woodburytype), Similgravure (Half-tone), Photogravure, Photo-Chromo-Typographie. This catalogue contains examples by most of the major French printers; it also contains very early examples of half-tone work, including a full page ad by Charles Petit that is as early as the first published Ives work in the United States, and as good or better."--Hanson Collection catalog, p. 69
