Louis-Joseph Ghémar

Louis-Joseph Ghémar is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Louis-Joseph Ghémar made prints around the 19th century, a trade that turned ink and metal plates into small, shareable images. In the H Beard Print Collection you’ll find his work: crisp engravings of city corners and storefronts that feel like snapshots from long ago. Prints like these were how people carried scenes of Paris or Brussels home after a day out. Tap the H Beard Print Collection to step into the black-and-white streets he once recorded.
