Print from prints published by the Société Septentrionale de Gravures, a company founded by Julien Deturck (1862-1941), a renowned Bailleul engraver, and Victor de Swarte, in 1900, its "exclusive aim is to popularize, through engraving or lithography, the artistic wealth of the northern region of France (departments of Nord, Pas-de-Calais and Somme), as well as the contemporary works of artists from this region, and those that exist outside, in the museums and collections. (Excerpt from the statutes of 1900). Although this Society mainly published engravings of interpretations of works by masters, it nevertheless published a few original engravings, most of the time countersigned, in limited editions (generally 300 copies in ordinary edition, some of them they have benefited from a print run of a few numbered copies on China or Japan).
