Note: Alphonse Bourdin: A French painter and lithographer, Alphonse Bourdin first began exhibiting around 1835. His paintings and lithographs were always remarkable for their clarity and fine detailing. Perhaps because of this, he turned his talents to miniature painting almost exclusively during the 1840's. Alphonse Bourdin was a regular exhibitor at the prestigious Paris Salon from 1846 to 1851.
  Lithography was not invented in France but it was the French who first recognized the huge potential of this new graphic medium as a fine art form. Led by such masters as Delacroix, Gericault, Boilly, Vernet and Charlet, a host of other superb artists were bringing the lithograph to the forefront between 1810 and 1840. Such was the high regard in France for this newly born art that the Restoration Salons began holding regular exhibitions in lithography as early as 1817.
  One of the leading vehicles for French lithography in the 1830's was Revue des Peintres. Between 1830 and 1839, this Paris based publication featured original lithographs (such as this example entitled, "The Secret Discovered") by such artists as Ramelet, Menut Alophe, Riesener, Alphonse Bourdin and others. Most, including this example, were printed at the lithographic presses of Aubert, who was also responsible for printing much of the satirical art of Daumier and Gavarni. Lithographs from the "Revue" have long been sought after as prime examples of fine, early lithographic art.
  Gabriel Auber, Charles Philipon, & La Maison Aubert: Founded in 1829 by Charles Philipon (Lyons, 1804 - Paris, 1862), La Maison Aubert was a bookshop specializing in satires, the sale of sheet prints, and illustrated books by the likes of Curmer, Janet, Didier and Challamel with illustrations sometimes printed by Aubert. Philipon’s Brother in law Gabriel Aubert (Lyon, 1784 – 1847), a French notary, publisher, printer, and editor of La Caricature, managed the firm of La Maison Aubert. Then around 1835 Aubert founded his own lithographic printing press, Aubert et Cie., Paris and soon after, partnered with Junca, the French lithographer, publisher, and printer, publishing lithographs under the firm name, Aubert et de Junca, Paris. Together, they printed and published some of the finest French lithographs of the period, many of which were included in La Revue des Peintres which featured lithographic prints after paintings, watercolors and drawings by contemporary artists of the period.
