Maison Devambez is the name of a fine printer's firm in Paris. It operated under that name from 1873, when a printing business established by the royal engraver Hippolyte Brasseux in 1826 was acquired by Édouard Devambez. At first the firm specialized in heraldic engraving, engraved letterheads and invitations. Devambez clients included the House of Orléans, the House of Bonaparte and the Élysée Palace. Devambez widened the scope of the business to include advertising and publicity, artists’ prints, luxurious limited edition books, and an important art gallery. The House became recognized as one of the foremost fine engravers in Paris, winning numerous medals and honours. With the artist Edouard Chimot as Editor after the First World War, a series of limited edition art books, employing leading French artists, illustrators and affichistes, reached a high point under the imprimatur ''A l'Enseigne du Masque d'Or'' - the Sign of the Golden Mask and with PAN in collaboration with Paul Poiret.〔Anon, 'The Work of The Maison Devambez', ''Commercial Art Magazine'' May 1928〕 Édouard's son, André Devambez, became a famous painter and illustrator after receiving the Prix de Rome. == 1826-1873: The business before Devambez == The engraving business acquired by Devambez just before the Franco-Prussian war was founded in 1827 at n°17, passage des Panoramas, as a "modest store" by Brasseux the younger.
