From 1869 started designing music score covers and got acquainted with lithography. Circa 1872 made first etching. He first exhibited his plates at the Salon in 1875 ('Japonisme'). Progressively turned to original etchings, working more specifically on the tone through the use of aquatint and other techniques. In 1876 first instance of his 'marges symphoniques' marginal sketches) which were to become so characteristic of his work; those sketches could be etched on the same plate as the main subject, or on a separate plate. To London in 1876 and in 1879. From 1881 his interest in printmaking waned as he turned once more to painting, and his production was sporadical between 1885 and 1891 (date of his last etching).
