Brienne issued a 4to sized volume of about 100 botanical lithographs, some after van Spaendonck. Engelmann (1788-1839) was a Franco-German lithographer who trained in Switzerland and France, and studied painting and sketching in Paris. In 1814, he travelled to Munich, Germany to study lithography. The following spring, he founded La Societe Lithotypique de Mulhouse. In June 1816, he opened a workshop in Paris. Engelmann is largely credited with introducing lithography to France, and commercialising chromolithography. In 1837, he was granted an English patent for a process of chromolithography that provided consistently high-quality results. Dunthorne, 316.
