Hello Oakree !
Images are coming from the: "Catalogue des Manufactures de Saint Etienne", called also "Catalogue Manufrance", created in 1880 in the north of France and the equivalent of your Sears & Robuck catalogs. A lot of pictures can be found with the namings above through internet.
Manufrance (still existing)is reediting the 1910 catalog (1000 pages). Infos here >>>> http://www.manufrance.eu/index.php/Pages/Actualites/reedition-du-catalogue-1910.html
