According to a document from the archives of
the family, Théodore-Henri FRESSON showed the
French Society of Photography "Photographic
prints made on charcoal paper made without
transfer", in 1899. T.H. FRESSON said that he
managed to get this result by preparing his
paper with several coats of different
light-sensitive layers.The insoluble ones
were close to the paper.

Nevertheless, T.H. FRESSON being an agronomic
engineer was not destined to this research.
In those days an inquisitive minded man had a
large field of investigation before him. M.
POITEVIN had perfected the first charcoal
paper and M. ARTIGUE was selling paper under
the name "Velvet" after which the paper of
Mr.FRESSON tooks its name "Satin". T.H.
FRESSON began to use this paper, but as an
inveterate researcher, he rapidly turned
himself towards other experiments. His wife
Maria with the help of their older son Pierre
manufactured and marketed this paper. Their
other son Edmond soon joined them. They sold
charcoal sheets of paper ready to be used by
experienced amateurs. The FRESSON paper was
marketed in different colour intensities and
supports which provided a large range of
possibilities.
