Bracquemond was a member of Alfred Cadart's Société des aquafortistes, and had helped Édouard Manet refine his etching technique. He modeled this etching on another celebrity portrait by Nadar, this time a photograph of the influential poet and critic Théophile Gautier, whose brocade cap and massive overcoat cast him as a Romantic poet. Bracquemond's etching appeared in the periodical L'Artiste, accompanying a glowing article on Gautier written by Charles Baudelaire.

prints
Pictorial works produced by transferring images by means of a matrix such as a plate, block, or screen, using any of various printing processes. When emphasizing the individual printed image, use "impressions." Avoid the controversial expression "original prints," except in reference to discussions of the expression's use. If prints are neither "reproductive prints" nor "popular prints," use the simple term "prints." With regard to photographs, prefer "photographic prints"; for types of reproductions of technical drawings and documents, see terms found under "reprographic copies."
