France's first important
publisher of the etching revival. In
1862 Alfred Cadart (1828-1875)
founded the Societe des aqua-Fortistes,
until its demise in 1867, being
responsible for publishing some of the
best French art from this decade.
Around 1870, Cadart (along with Luquet)
reopened his publishing house and
commissioned original etchings from
such masters as Jongkind, Bracquemond,
Manet, Ribot and many others. Almost
all of the fine etchings published by
Cadart were printed by Auguste Delatre.
Printed on laid paper made
especially for the series, this
collection is one of the seminal
publications to come out of the etching
revival in France. The Societe des
Aqua-Fortistes was the French
equivalent of the Etching Club in
England ; it aimed to produce a
collection of high quality etchings by
the leading artists of the period. Like
the Etching Club, the Societe des
Aqua-Fortistes sought to raise the
medium from a reproductive technique to
a fine art. Although the etching
revival began somewhat earlier in
England, the French movement exerted a
far greater influence on the medium,
and included a wider range of prominent
artists.
