Business stationery (cover) used by the PHOTO-CLUB de PARIS. The Club was founded in 1888 and created by members who seceded from the Société de Francaise de Photographie and it included influential photographers including Robert Demachy and Constant Puyo. From 1891, under the presidency of Maurice Bucquet (c.1860–1921), it was dedicated to the cultivation of photography as a fine art. In 1894 they hosted one of the most lavish and international of the artistic photographic salons of the late nineteenth century.
