[2] Some of Picard's bindings are on books in the celebrated editions of the classics by the Aldine Press of Venice.
The press had been founded in 1494, and after the death of its founder, Aldus Manutius, in 1515, his family continued to run the business.
The bookseller Picard's premises were identified by the sign of the dolphin and anchor, the emblem of the Aldine Press.
They were in the Rue Saint-Jacques, a street in the Latin Quarter, which was a centre of the book trade.
Le Riche was replaced after a couple of years by the bookbinder Gomar Estienne, who had been working at the royal bindery, the so-called Atelier de Fontainebleau.
