A broken corner and a crack on the spine Co-founder and director of Brodard et Taupin, a company that was to become a major player in the printing, binding and cardboard industries, Joseph Taupin, upon learning of the development in 1929 of "pollopas", a new resin similar to bakelite but colorless and able to be dyed in the mass, considered using it to produce molded bindings.
