It is the couple Marie-Françoise Guérin and Jean-François Picard who founded the imagery between 1806 and 1812, the factory starting between 1809 and 1810.

Their son Alphonse is associated with the firm which he takes back in his name around 1831.

From 1835 and the death of her husband, the widow Alphonse Picard took over the business in her name until 1841.
