In 1796, Jean Charles Pellerin set up the Imagerie
d Epinal and popularized printed images of everyday scenes. In 1810,
Imagerie
d Epinal make woodcuts of Napoleon by Francois Georgin, a renowned
engraver of
that time. These were 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. These
pochoir (hand painted using templates) woodcuts of military subjects,
Napoleonic history, storybook characters and other folk themes were widely
distributed throughout the 19th century.
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.
