Musée de Bretagne : Inv.2018.0000.1620

Pierre-Vincent Roiné, son of a Nantes cartier took over the paternal factory in 1782. In 1802 he sold his factory to his son Pierre, born in 1784, who died around 1817-1818 without ever making images. He gives up his house to his daughter-in-law who continues her husband's card business and joins forces with Dumoutier. It was not until around 1817 that the production of images began. Around 1820 Roiné's second son, Philibert, was associated with the business. Around 1823 Dumoutier disappeared from the association, then Roiné father died in 1826-1829.

Frequently Asked Questions from Collectors & Print Lovers

Answers on the authenticity, conservation and acquisition of Japanese prints and Master engravings.

How are the prints packaged and secured during delivery?

En résumé : The prints are protected in a neutral acid-free pouch, packaged strictly flat between two plates of rigid reinforced non-deformable cardboard with ad valorem insurance.

Prints are preferably shipped flat to preserve the fiber of the paper. Packages are shipped within 24 to 48 hours via Colissimo Expert with delivery against signature or express carrier (DHL / FedEx) with tracking number. Collection by hand from our Parisian gallery (11 Passage Verdeau) is also available during opening hours or on request.

How can we guarantee the authenticity and period print of an original print?

En résumé : An original print is verified by its edition, determined largely by the nature of its paper and the quality of its printing.

At the Maillard-Fouilleul Gallery, each work undergoes an in-depth examination, mention in the dedicated catalogs or directories, quality of the print and printing, possible presence of a watermark and its identification as well as any signature, sending or collector's mark, state of conservation of the print, integrity of the margins.

What is the difference between an Ukiyo-e print and a Shin-Hanga print?

En résumé : Ukiyo-e (17th–19th century) illustrates the classic “floating world” of Edo, while Shin-Hanga (20th century) renews woodcut with Western perspectives and light effects.

Ukiyo-e brings together illustrious masters like Hokusai, Hiroshige, Utamaro and Sharaku. The favorite subjects are actors, kabuki, courtesans or Bijin and landscapes, nature and its seasons being at the heart of art and the art of living in Japan. The Shin-Hanga (“new prints”) movement, launched by the publisher Watanabe Shozaburo in the years 1915-1960 with Hasui Kawase and Hiroshi Yoshida, preserves the traditional technique on wood with the intervention of a designer, an engraver and a printer, while infusing a spectacular atmospheric realism. To this we must add Sosaku-Hanga ("creative prints"), the creative process of which is in the hands of the artist alone and whose palette and graphic expression are freer.

How to properly preserve and frame a Japanese print or old engraving?

En résumé : Store prints away from UV rays and excessive humidity. Use only acid-free (neutral pH) mats and museum-quality anti-UV glass.

Inks like paper are very sensitive to direct light and humidity. We recommend reversible assembly with neutral pH or Japanese starch-based hinges, avoiding any synthetic adhesive. Never glue a print in full. For storage in drawing board, choose neutral polyester pouches (Melinex/Mylar) and permanent blotting paper.

Can you have your European and Japanese prints appraised or sold at the gallery?
