Né à Paris, Adolphe Goupil s'impose comme l'un des plus importants marchands et éditeurs d'art du XIXe siècle. Il fonde en 1827 la maison qui deviendra Goupil & Cie, s'associant successivement à Henri Rittner (1829), puis à Théodore Vibert (1841), avant de développer l'entreprise sous son propre nom à partir de 1850. Sous son impulsion, la firme se dote d'un réseau international sans précédent, avec des succursales à Londres, New York, Berlin et La Haye, et devient l'un des principaux acteurs du commerce et de la reproduction d'œuvres d'art.
Beau-père du peintre Jean-Léon Gérôme, dont la maison assure une large diffusion des œuvres, Goupil intègre très tôt la photographie à ses activités : dès le début des années 1850, la maison édite des albums et portraits photographiques, publiant notamment l'album de Félix Teynard consacré à l'Égypte (Lot 40), avant de développer, plus tard, une production industrielle de reproduction à ses ateliers d'Asnières.

Under his leadership, the company built an unprecedented international network, with branches in London, New York, Berlin, and The Hague, becoming one of the principal actors in the trade and reproduction of works of art.
Father-in-law of the painter Jean-Léon Gérôme, whose works were widely distributed by the firm, Goupil integrated photography into his activities at an early stage. Beginning in the early 1850s, the company published photographic albums and portraits, including Félix Teynard’s album devoted to Egypt (Lot 40), before later developing an industrial-scale reproduction business at its workshops in Asnières.
