During the 30's and 40's Sydney Z. Lucas owned a publishing house specializing in French etchings under the label "Paris Etching Society". The coloring of these etchings are quite exquisite. They often appear to be watercolor when they are in fact aquatint. Sydney Lucas contracted with French artists to publish editions of their work. The run for these editions were typically 350-500

After Sydney died in the mid 60's, his wife, Phyllis carried on the business, building on the Gallery's collaboration with Salvador Dali. The Gallery was the first North American publisher of his lithographs and published 26 editions of his images. Dali was a frequent visitor to the Gallery, and a friend of Phyllis Lucas, who died in 1995.
