IN the following list no attempt has been made to enumerate every separate ex-libris signed by each artist; such works as would best illustrate their style, or the period they worked in, only have been selected, or plates possessing other features of interest, literary, artistic, or personal.

It must be borne in mind that a large proportion of the early French plates bore no owners’ names, although they were frequently signed by the engraver. Many of these plates have been identified by the arms, the mottoes, or other peculiarities in design, but some still remain unidentified.

Where engraved dates appear on the ex-libris these have been mentioned, but no notice has been taken of dates inserted in manuscript, these, as is well known, being quite unreliable.

For certain engravers, on whose work no date has been found, a century has been named approximately from an examination of the plates they produced.

Some of this information must necessarily be conjectural, and Mons. Poulet-Malassis mentions certain artists and engravers of book-plates of whose work it has not been possible either to obtain copies, or any information whatever.

For facility of reference a strictly alphabetical arrangement of the names has been adopted.

Wherever it was possible, the inscriptions and signatures have been copied from the book-plates themselves, carefully preserving the arbitrary contractions, the obsolete orthography, and even the errors and the faulty accentuation found on many of them.

It will be observed that Mr. as a contraction for Monsieur was formerly more generally used in France than it now is, whilst Escuyer, Escuier, or Ecuyer (for Esquire) was occasionally added after a gentleman’s name, a custom which has, since the Revolution, become quite obsolete.

One of the latest examples of the use of this title will be found on the ex-libris of Jean FranÇois-Gillet, dated 1778, of which a reproduction appears on p. 96.

Collin, Dominique (known as
Collin pÈre). 18th cent.
This famous engraver was
born at MirÉcourt, in Lorraine,
in 1725. He first
studied engraving under a
goldsmith in Metz, and
afterwards under Jean
Striedbeck of Strasburg.
In 1752 Collin married and
settled in Nancy, where he
soon acquired a reputation,
and was named engraver to
the town, and also to the
King of Poland, Stanislas,
Duc de Lorraine et de Bar.
He died in Nancy, December
21st, 1781. He produced
more than 300 engravings,
on many of which he signed
himself “graveur du feu roi
de Pologne.”
A catalogue of his works was
given by Mons. le Conseiller
BeauprÉ in “Les MÉmoires
de la SociÉtÉ d’ArchÉologie
Lorraine,” and a supplemental
list, drawn up by
Mons. A. Benoit, with illustrations,
appeared in the
“Archives de la SociÉtÉ
FranÇaise,” April, 1895.
His son, Yves Dominique
Collin, also worked on
book-plates, and, judging
by the few known examples
of his work, would probably
have surpassed his
father, but, unfortunately,
his career was brief. He
was born in Nancy, in February,
1753, and died in the
same city on April 26th,
1792. He signed his plates
Y. D. Collin, fils.
The following is a list of the
known book-plates of Dominique
Collin; his mode of
signature varied, and he

Colin indifferently.

This officer was born in 1743,
and married in 1774, about
which period, probably, this
elegant trophy plate was
engraved. It was reproduced
in the “Archives de
la SociÉtÉ FranÇaise,” Oct.
1894.
Le Blond. DessinÉ et gravÉ
par Le Blond, on a nameless
armorial, dated 1785.
A modern armorial plate for
Thomas Harrison is signed
“Le Blond sc. 4 Walbrook.”
Le Clerc, G. 17th cent.
Le Clerc, SÉbastien. 17th
cent.
A famous engraver of Metz,
and afterwards of Paris,
whose works were described
by Jombert in his “Catalogue
raisonnÉ de l’oeuvre
de Seb. Le Clerc” (Paris,
1774), in which mention is
made of seven armorial
“marques de bibliothÈques”
all signed by him.
Poulet-Malassis mentions four
others, in different sizes, all
for Nicolas Martigny de
Marsal, all signed, and
two dated 1655 and 1660.
In 1701, he signed S. Le Clerc
invenit on the armorial plate
inscribed “MatthÆus Franciscus
Geoffroy,” which was
engraved by Cl. Duflos.
This design was afterwards
appropriated by P. Picaut,
(or Picault) for a M. Veronneau
of Blois. Jombert,
in his catalogue, described
this plate for M. Geoffroy,
on which the motto
was, “Turris fortissima
Deus.”
S. Le Clerc is credited with
having been the first to depart
from the formal, but
correct heraldic style, as
shown on the plates of AndrÉ
Felibien, and Alexandre
Petau, in order to adopt the
oval shield (of Italian origin)
set in a foliated cartouche,
the Renaissance
style, in fact, which gradually
developed into the
Louis XIV. style.
See “Ex-Libris Ana” (p. 31),
for further details about the
works of Le Clerc. The
following plates are named
as engraved by him:
Jean Baptiste de Jouanne,
Marquis de Saumery.
Pierre Le Febvre (of Metz).
Maurice Le Tellier, archevÊque
de Reims.
Denis Godefroy de Tralage.
M. de la Reynie.

Leclere. 18th cent.
Louise Le Daulceur. 18th
cent.
This clever engraver signed
her name in several ways.
Le D.
Louise Le D. sculp.
Madame Le D.
Louise Le Daulceur.
Daul sculp.
L. Daul sculp.
Louise Daul:
She herself had two book-plates,
one inscribed M^de
Le Daulceur, is signed “Ed.
Bouchardon in. del. Louise
Le D. sculp.” the other, a
smaller one, is not signed.
Madlle. Le Daulceur studied
under Bouchardon, and in
examining the plates signed
by her, it will be seen that
she engraved after designs
furnished by Bouchardon,
Pierre, H. Gravelot, C.
Eisen, and Durand, whilst
Poulet-Malassis speaks of
her as “une femme du
monde, amateur de talent,
gracieux intermÉdiaire entre
les artistes ses maÎtres et
ses amis.”
Her talents appear to have
been principally devoted to
illustrating books of poems
for her friends, and it is
supposed that the ex-libris
she engraved were probably
works of love. The
following is a list of them.
La Comtesse de Mellet, two,
one after Bouchardon, the
other signed: Le D.
Montigny—two, a large and a
small one.
Mignot de Montigny—after
Pierre.
Le Comte Thiroux de Gervillier—after
Gravelot.
Thiroux d’Arconville—after
Gravelot.
Madame d’Arconville—after
C. Eisen.
(This, signed in full, Louise
Le Daulceur sculp. et inv.
is reproduced on p. 218,
“Ladies’ Book-plates.”)
Madame Du Tailly.
Madame d’Alleray—after Durand.
There is also a delicate little
plate of Mademoiselle
d’Alleray, with the arms on a
lozenge supported by a wild
rosebush, which has been
attributed to Louise Le
Daulceur, but it is not
signed. The original plate
is in the possession of Dr.
Bouland, President of the
French Society, and impressions
from it were issued
with the “Archives de la
SociÉtÉ FranÇaise,” in June,
1894.
Le Duc, Viollet. 19th cent.
Le FÉron, À Rennes, 1767.
LefÈvre. 19th cent.
L. Le Grand sculp. 18th cent.
Nameless armorial plate, for
Madame Du Barry. Motto,
“Boutez en avant.”
This plate was engraved by
Le Grand after a design by
Cochin fils some time before
1774. It has two shields
and supporters, and what is
somewhat unusual in French
book-plates, there is a crest
above the coronet.
Poulet-Malassis is of opinion
that this plate was little
used by Madame Du Barry,
whose books, handsomely
bound in red morocco, bore
her arms stamped in gold
on the sides. Louis XV.
remarked, “La Marquise
de Pompadour avait plus de
livres que la comtesse, mais
ils n’Étaient pas si bien
reliÉs, ni si bien choisis.”
Legros, Alphonse. 19th cent.
About 1874, this artist (who
then resided in London)
engraved the copper for the
well-known Ex libris LÉon
Gambetta, of which only a
few impressions were taken,
and these were never employed
as book-plates.
Forgeries exist, and have been
sold by the dealers in large
numbers.
The original plates may be
known by a small circle on
the bottom left-hand corner
of the design in which are
the letters A.B. See “Archives
de la SociÉtÉ FranÇaise,”
April, 1895, with
which was issued an impression
from the original
copper.

Le Keux, J. H. Mr. Le Keux,
although of French Huguenot
descent worked in
England all his life, and
died in Durham on February
4, 1896. He is best known
from his engravings for the
architectural works by
Pugin, Ruskin, Wright and
others.
He did a handsome seal book-plate
for himself, and others
for English owners; indeed,
his name is only included
here because its French
appearance might mislead
an inexperienced collector.

This Roy was probably the
father of the following engraver.
Roy, Claude. Born in Paris
about 1712. For many years
he worked as an engraver,
principally of portraits,
which it appears he also
sold at his own shop. “DessinÉ
et gravÉ par Roy. Se
vend À Paris chez Roy,
graveur, sur le quai des
OrfÈvres.”
For some years he was compelled
to desist from work
owing to the failure of his
sight, which, however, was
restored to him, and on his
subsequent works he alludes
to this happy recovery.
Thus on a portrait of Vinatier,
he signs: “DessinÉ
GravÉ et Offert en 1743, par
son trÈs obligÉ Serviteur Cl.
Roy, aprÈs le Recouvrement
de sa veÜe.” He only produced
a few ex-libris, but
these are of exceptional
merit, and are much sought
after.
He signed at times “graveur
sur tous metaux.” He died
at his residence on the
Quai des OrfÈvres in 1792,
aged 80.
A nameless plate bearing the
arms of Henri-Anne de
Fuligny Damas, Comte de
Rocheouart, etc., and those
of his wife, Marie Gabrielle
de Pons. As this Comte
de Fuligny-Damas died on
February 24, 1745, this
plate must have been engraved
before that date. It
is a very handsome design,
having, in addition to the
two shields, a number of
musical instruments within
an elegant floral border. It
is signed Cl. Roy D. et Sc.
Reproduced in the “Archives
de la SociÉtÉ FranÇaise,”

Mons. Claude Emile ThiÈry
was one of the founders of
the SociÉtÉ FranÇaise,—he
died at MaxÉville on February
3, 1895.
He was born in 1828, studied
in the Ecole des Beaux
Arts, and was a graceful and
humorous artist. He was
appointed engraver to the
Austrian Court, and was for
some time curator of the
Museum of Nancy.
An article on his works
appeared in the “Archives
de la SociÉtÉ FranÇaise” for
January, 1894, with a series
of book-plates he designed
for his friend Gustave Droz,
and he also engraved several
plates for his own books—of
these the most interesting
was in imitation of a MS. of
the Middle Ages, impressions
of which were issued
with the “Archives de la
SociÉtÉ FranÇaise” for January,
1895, accompanied
by a humorous letter from
Mons. ThiÈry himself.
