This anonymous 19th-century print, "Visitekaartje van heliografische drukkerij Ducourtioux & Huillard te Parijs," is a business card for the heliogravure printing firm Ducourtioux & Huillard in Paris. The image depicts two figures, likely the artists, in an interior scene. The man, seated at a table and holding a pen, appears to be working on a piece of art. The presence of other artwork on the walls suggests a printmaking studio. The artist's use of line and shading creates a realistic portrayal of the space and the figures within. The card exemplifies a business practice common in the late 19th century, utilizing visual art to promote a printing firm's services.
