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.
