Excerpt from Guide de l'Amateur de Livres à Vignettes (Et à Figures) Du Xviiie Siècle
Parmi les artistes qui ont décoré les livres du xv1u° szecle, il en est sept qui par leur très grande supériorité méritent un examen particulier. Ce sont E isen, Moreau, Gravelot, Boucher, Cochin, Marillier et Cho¿'ard. Queverdo, Monnet, saint-quentin, Le Bar bier et duplessi-bertaux suivent leurs traces de très près, et je crois devoir aussi leur consacrer quelques lignes.
