Imagerie d'Épinal

The Imagerie d'Épinal operates as a traditional print workshop producing illustrations through woodcut prints and lithographic stones within a protected heritage building.

Jean-Charles Pellerin established the print workshop in 1796, creating religious images and genre scenes using engraved wooden plates with hand-colored stencils.

The workshop contributed to French popular culture by mass-producing images of Napoleonic victories, moral tales, and children's games throughout the 19th century.

Visitors can observe traditional printing methods, including woodcuts and lithography, while exploring the facility that maintains original production machines from past centuries.

The facility holds over 6,000 lithographic stones from the 19th and 20th centuries, representing the largest collection of historical printing materials in Europe.
