"1 photogravure from a photograph of Coquelin in costume. The gravure is by Goupil & Cie from a negative by Carjat, Paris. This single plate, from a much larger series, shows the beauties of this lush process. The Goupil company perfected the electrotyped photogravure method; most companies preferred the bitten method."--Hanson collecton catalog, p. 93
Forms part of the David A. Hanson Collection of the History of Photomechanical Reproduction
Loose plate from "La Comédie Française, Ludovic Baschet, Editeur"
