From 1862 onward, the Société des Aquafortistes promoted etching as a means of expression equal in prestige to painting and drawing. The organization ran a studio for instructing prospective etchers, produced a yearly publication promoting original prints, and sold works by participating artists from its Parisian headquarters. The shop itself was a popular destination, as is clearly indicated by the elegantly dressed crowd seen in Martial’s print, which was included in the society's 1865 album, Eaux-fortes modernes.
