Croisey, Jean-Baptiste


Jean-Baptiste Croisey (c. 1740 - 1810) was a French Paris based engraver active from roughly 1760 through 1810. Little is known of his life and training. His earliest known work was for Jacques-Nicolas Bellin (1703 - 1772), chief Ingénieur Hydrographe at the French Dépôt des cartes et plans de la Marine until 1798. He also engraved for Louis Charles Desnos (1725 - 1805) from 1790 to 1792, and for Bruny d'Entrecasteaux in 1807, among other publishers.
