It was founded in 1870 by Carl Angerer (1838-1916), who was heavily involved in chemical zinc etching. He developed the Vienna etching method, which was revolutionary at the time. Three years later, Carl's brother-in-law, Alexander Göschl (1848-1900), became a partner in the company. In 1877, they leased a photography studio and started working on photo reproductions. Over the years, they also conducted advanced studies in photo printing techniques. The company closed its doors in 1983.
