Avec deux ex-libris imprimés d'Arthur Christian (un daté 1900). Arthur Christian ( 1838 - 1906) devient directeur de la Bibliothèque Nationale à Paris en 1895. [1] Paris pendant Le Siège ( par Martial). 11/12 eaux-fortes. Gravures pourvues de commentaires gravées en cursive. [2] Souvenirs artistiques du Siège de Paris 1870-1871.

In this early stage photographs could only be reproduced for mass production by means of wood-engravings or engravings on copper or steel. A few years after these turbulent years in the history of Paris new reproduction methods such as photo engraving and zincography made obsolete this beautiful but expensive method . These suites will remain a beautiful and poignant visual testimony of Paris history in the 19th c.
