Not on view

This late nineteenth-century trade card reproducing Rembrandt’s self-portrait demonstrates the long legacy of the Dutch etcher as a model for artistic printing. Alfred Salmon opened his printing business in 1863, but the inclusion here of the name of his son-in-law, Auguste Porcabeuf, suggests that this card dates from about 1894, when he took over the enterprise.
