Haak, 1736 - 10 pages
Much as the first printers viewed printing by moveable type as a less expensive way to reproduce texts that had previously been reproduced by manuscript copying, Le Blon viewed his process as a less expensive way of producing color paintings. Le Blon had formed a company called The Picture Office to produce color prints, and Choulant states that in 1721 Le Blon issued a separate print depicting the male sexual organs entitled Préparation anatomique des parties de l'homme, servants a la generation, faites sur les decouvertes les plus modernes. In 1725 Le Blon published an exceptionally rare little treatise on the process called Coloritto, and he produced a small number of artistic color prints. However, Le Blon's business failed and he re-established himself in Paris, and in 1739 obtained a patent for the use of his color printing process in France.
