Beautiful and fresh proof on vellum paper, printed by Gangel in Metz


In 1835, in Metz, Adrien Dembour established himself as a printer-lithographer, succeeding Hanké and Rosch. He also bought the woodcuts from the Lacour house, in Nancy, and those from the Ardant house, in Limoges. He then joined forces, from 1840 to 1852, with Nicolas Gengel.
In 1852, Gangel took over the typographer and lithographer patents from his partner and continued the production of images including a number of dance, cane, boxing and pointe patents, testimonies of the training of French soldiers.
