Baillieul, Nicolas (sold)
Nicolas Baillieul (fl. c. 1740 - 1760) was a French engraver, draughtsman, and publisher based in Lyon. He was the son of the more famous Gaspard Baillieul (d. 1744) and inherited his enterprise upon his death, along with Gaspard's other children. Nicolas later relocated to Lyon and published several maps (using the name 'Bailleul le jeune') with the local printer Jean-Louis Daudet.
