Goupil & Cie, founded in Paris in 1829, was one of the leading art publishers and dealers of the 19th century, specialising in the distribution of prints and reproductions of works of art. At the end of the century, its activities were continued by Manzi-Joyant & Cie, renowned for its luxury illustrated editions and its innovations in photogravure.
