Maison Martinet, 172 Rue Rivoli et 41 Rue Vivienne (Publisher)
Lith. Destouches, 28 Rue Paradis Pre, Paris
Edouard de Beaumont pulished between 1228 and 1273 lithographs, essentially in Le Charivari between 1842 and 1866.
Au Bal Masqué has 188 prints spead out within 11 different suites, from the publication with Aubert from 1848-1851 (in UAG collection) to the publication with Martinet-De Vresse from 1865-1866.
'La maison Aubert' was a French publisher of prints, specialising in satires. Founded in 1829 by Charles Philipon (who was always the brains of the enterprise) and his brother-in-law Gabriel Aubert (who ran the shop), a notary who had bankrupted himself. They first established as the Magasin des Caricatures in the Passage Véro-Dodat in 1829 (which moved to the Place de la Bourse in 1841) and thn into a second shop in the Galerie Colbert in 1835. About the same time, they established their own lithographic printing press (Aubert et Cie). Gabriel Aubert died 1847. In 1850, some prints bear the name of his widow (le Veuve Aubert).
