Luncheon In The Woods and The first of October Published by L. Hildesheimer & Co.LTD London & Manchester 1897 Printed by Rembrandt Intaglio Printing Co LTD The company was formed in 1895 by Storey Brothers of Lancaster (calico printers and sail and cloth makers) on the advice of Karl Klic. Technical development was under the direction of Klic and Samuel Fawcett, a former Storey Bros employee, and by 1900 Rembrandt was producing gravure prints commercially and in large quantities. The firm enjoyed a de facto monopoly for several years. Examples of work produced at Rembrandt at the turn of the century include the exquisite Burlington Art Miniatures, made for The Fine Arts Publishing Co. Ltd. of London. After WWI the monopoly crumbled as other gravure printers began to compete, using newer methods and offering a wider range of products. In an attempt to reinvent itself, the company moved to London in 1926, but was relatively unsuccessful in developing new techniques. It was sold to Sun Engraving Co. in 1932.
