Barday is the contraction of BARré and DAYez, a pseudonym created by the son of Jules Dayez, Georges Dayez, a publishing house specializing since 1925 in the publication of postcards made using the old process of color lithography to illustrate numerous architectures, monuments and tourist sites in France and abroad. The drawings were made directly by the artist on the litho stones used for printing. One stone was used for each color, their total number could be up to fifteen. This expensive process is mainly reserved for limited editions of prints by renowned artists. The finish was often done by stencil, or even by manual projection with a brush.
