History

Devambez was a Parisian company specializing in luxury art prints. It was active from 1826 under Hypollyte Devambez, but came to the fore in the Third Republic (1873) when Edouard Devambez (1844-1923) took over.
It published art books from 1908 to 1932. Its most famous publication was Pan, Annuaire du luxe (1928), edited by the fashion designer Paul Poiret: "très bel annuaire qui réunit presque tous les grands noms du commerce de luxe de l'époque. Publié et conçu par lui, il est illustré de 116 planches en noir et en couleurs par les plus grands artistes contemporains. Cet album offre un panorama important sur la publicité des années 1920."
Its only musical publication was Élégie (Debussy, Claude) in 1916.
