- A rare and important report written by a committee of the cadémie des Beaux Arts upon their examination of an album of plates by Engelmann, “Recueil d’essais lithographiques dans differents genres de dessin.” The album served as publicity for Engelmann’s establishment of a lithographic shop at No.18, rue Cassette (Paris), in the early summer of 1816. “The Academy thought fit to examine carefully the prints submitted by Engelmann and undertook to study the origins and progress of the new art. To do this a commission was set up consisting of the architect Heurtier, the engraver Desnoyers, painters Regnault and Guérin, and with Castellan as its secretary. Their report was published in 1816, and since extracts of it appeared in numerous publications it must have played an important part in establishing Engelmann as a lithographic printer, besides making the process as a whole far better known in France.” – Twyman, Lithography 1800-1850, p. 54. The report is signed in print by Castellan, ‘rapporteur.’ Bigmore & Wyman, I, p. 199. Temple Univ., Aloys Senefelder 1771-1834, (172), no. 16.
