"In the years 1919-1920, Gen Paul learned the technique of engraving from Eugène Delâtre, who printed the etchings in his studio on rue Lepic. The painter produces small paintings, views of the
Butte, models for aquatints whose printing depends on the success of each subject. Most of them are not numbered, they are sometimes signed Paul Trélade or Eugène Lautral. "
