Publisher information: In 1796, Jean Charles Pellerin set up the Imagerie d’Epinal and popularised printed images of everyday scenes. New publishers emerged in Epinal in the 19th century, including Charles Pinot and his Nouvelle Imagerie d’Epinal. The emergence of this new company resulted in a war in the production of images that was eventually won by Imagerie Pellerin d’Epinal. This publishing house ended up becoming the leading French firm in the field and in 1888 it bought out all of Pinot’s stock.
