Cette association dure jusqu'à la fin des années 1850 puis Moïse Stern reprend la Maison. L'ex-libris de la Maison Stern devient un grand « S » dans lequel se loge un lion dressé, la patte antérieure reposant sur le monogramme « MS » entrelacé. Une main brandissant un outil de graveur et deux pièces d'armure, un gant et le casque complètent la composition. En 1867 et en 1889, la Maison Stern se voit décerner la Médaille d'Or lors de ces deux expositions universelles. Par la suite Moïse Stern sera occasionnellement membre du jury qui décerne cette médaille. Dans les années 1890, M.Stern associe son fils René à l'entreprise qui prend le nom de Stern et fils. René Stern reprend la boutique à son compte en 1904. Parmi ses prestigieux clients, la Maison Stern a eu l'honneur de compter l'Elysée pour ses menus et ses invitations, les ambassades, la noblesse et les grandes entreprises françaises et étrangères. Chacun participe depuis longtemps au renom de la Maison.

The Maison Stern et Aumoitte was founded in 1836 by Mr. Aumoitte, who partnered with a young engraver, Moïse Stern. T.his partnership lasted until the late 1850s, when Moïse Stern took over the company. The Maison Stern bookplate became a large "S" containing a rearing lion, its foreleg resting on the intertwined monogram "MS." A hand brandishing an engraver's tool and two pieces of armor, a glove, and a helmet, complete the composition. In 1867 and 1889, the Maison Stern was awarded the Gold Medal at these two World's Fairs. Moïse Stern would later occasionally serve as a member of the jury that awarded this medal. In the 1890s, Mr. Stern brought his son René into the business, which took the name Stern et fils. René Stern took over the shop in 1904. Among its prestigious clients, Maison Stern has had the honor of counting the Élysée Palace for its menus and invitations, embassies, the nobility, and major French and foreign companies. Each has long contributed to the Maison's reputation.…

Each plate is followed by a short critique by Thackeray. Thackeray was an old friend of Marvy, a French artist, who took refuge in London after the chaos of 1848.

Marvy, while here, as a means of earning a living, made a series of engravings after the works of our English landscape painters. The publishers, however, would not undertake the work without a series of letter-press notices of each picture from Thackeray; and the latter accordingly added some criticisms which are interesting as developing his theory of this kind of art" (p.32).
