Library.  Félix Hilaire Buhot (July 9, 1847 - April 26, 1898)
was a French painter and illustrator.  Among the most original
prints made in France during the last quarter of the nineteenth
century are those by Félix Buhot. Along with artists like
Charles Jacque, Louis Monziès and Félix Bracquemond, he is
credited with reviving seventeenth-century etching techniques in
late nineteenth-century art. However, he was highly experimental
and regularly employed technical variables and regularly
combined multiple processes to produce a single print. He used
traditional techniques of etching, drypoint, and aquatint along
with modern methods such as photomechanical reproduction.
Buhot’s most notable contribution to the history of printmaking
is a device he termed "marges symphoniques" (symphonic margins).
