The Golden Griffin Gallery operated in New York City from the
1940s to the 1970s. In the 1950s, the Gallery formed a partnership with
Pellerin Imagerie, becoming the sole distributor for Pellerin Imagerie in North
America.
In 1796, Jean Charles Pellerin set up the “Imagerie d’Epinal” and
popularized printed images of everyday scenes, printed on Arches paper, from
the town of Arches (which was a near town to Epinal). In 1880, Imagerie began
to print flyers for businesses and political parties, alphabet literature and
other educational materials, riddles, illustrated songs, paper cutouts and
plates of soldiers. Between 1880 and WWI, Imagerie sold more than 10 million
pictures per year worldwide and in many languages.
