Description: Paris: E. Le Deley, circa 1895. Album of 24 heliotypes; plates on hinges. 144 x 224 cm. Flexible leather, gilt stamped, marble eps. The Parisian printing firm of E. Le Deley (E. L. D.), located at 73, rue Claude Bernard, was founded by the photographer Ernest Louis Désiré le Deley (1859–1917). The company was a major publisher of heliotype, black-and-white postcards. After Le Deley’s death, the firm was run by his sons, but went bankrupt in 1930. Heliotype printing involved exposing a gelatin film under a negative, hardening it with chrome alum, and printing directly from it. Reference: E.
