After Rittner's death Theodore Vibert (1816-1850) joined the company, which by then was the leading publisher of fine art reproductions in Paris. In 1848, Goupil, Vibert & Co. established the first permanent American branch of a foreign art firm in New York City, and began also producing prints by American artists or of American subjects to appeal to the U.S. market.
