============================================================== Spanish painter, engraver, master typographer and editor Louis Jou (1882 – 1968) became a naturalized French citizen and was known as an artist of the French School. He founded his own publishing house in Paris and gained a reputation as one of the greatest typographers of the 19th century. His original etchings and woodcuts appeared in books by Victor Hugo, André Gide, Cervantes and many more. Jou's etchings also appeared in the Gazette des Beaux Arts published in Paris. From 1859 until its final year in 1930, the Gazette became known for its role in the revival of etching as a creative process on a par with painting and sculpture. The Gazette regularly commissioned works from the greatest etchers of the day, including artists such as Whistler, Goya, Max Lieberman, John Sloan, Louis Jou and many more. Today, these etchings are highly sought after as collectors' items.
