The Société des Aquafortistes was established by publishers Alfred Cadart (1828-1875) and Joseph Jules Luquet (1824-1904), as well as printer Auguste Delâtre (1822–1907) in 1862 with the aim of promoting the practice of etching to artists and the general public. Etching had been practised by artists for centuries, but its popularity declined with the rise of lithography and the dominance of reproductive engraving. By the 1860s in France, however, a significant revival was underway. The nineteenth century etching revival, which occurred in France, Britain, and America, was characterised by artists reclaimed etching as an autonomous art form, aligning themselves with the tradition of the ‘peintre-graveur’ (painter-printmaker) and looking to earlier great masters of the medium, like Rembrandt. In this renewed context, etching was valued for its immediacy and originality, ideas that informed the foundation of the Société des Aquafortistes and publications like <i>Eaux-Fortes Modernes</i>. \r\nThe Society’s headquarters in Paris had a public exhibition space, sold prints and provided a studio for etchers. They produced portfolios of original prints by contemporary artists, Eaux-Fortes Modernes being one of their most popular. These were sold via a subscription service. The subject matter of the etchings varied, but often included landscapes, demonstrating etching’s ability to reproduce scenes from life. The Society published five volumes of <i>Eaux-Fortes Modernes</i>, including 300 prints made by notable artists including Charles Meryon, Alphonse Legros, Camille Corot and Édouard Manet.
