Draeger (French, founded 1886)
In 1886, Charles DRAEGER founds in Paris the printing house " Draeger et Lesieur ", which becomes at the turn of the century Draeger Frères and moves in 1908 to Montrouge to expand.
Renowned for the quality of its production, based in particular on a unique colour reproduction process, it is mainly dedicated to publishing catalogues, brochures, advertisements but also art books. Draeger will write some of the most beautiful iconographic pages of the 20th century, working for big names in the luxury industry and collaborating with famous artists such as Dali, Picasso, Cocteau or Matisse.
Draeger understands very quickly that innovation is not limited to technical progress. In 1956, the company diversified its activities. It acquires Yvon, created in 1909 by the photographer Pierre-Yves Petit, thus entering the world of Stationery.
