He continued to exploit the funds accumulated by his predecessors. Its catalog therefore offers 2,500 images, all backgrounds combined. Religious images predominate with 1,200 articles; the rest of the production is mainly aimed at young people, with 300 images of soldiers or battle scenes, 250 images to cut out, edit, articulate, etc., 150 tales and stories to color. Images are often used to make games: targets, goose games and derivatives, mills, playing cards, etc. After his death, the company was taken over by Йmile Schenk and Hermann Junck, then, until 1906, by Junck alone.
