Motte, Charles Etienne Pierre
Charles Etienne Pierre Motte (November 2, 1785 - December 5, 1836) was a French lithographer, etcher, and draughtsman based in Paris and London. Little is known of his life and training, but he began operations around 1818 in Paris. In the late 1820s, he worked closely with the printer and published J. P. Quénot. Around 1830, Motte opened a London branch, which was sold or otherwise passed on to engraver and printer Alfred Ducôte. In the early 1830s, when his career seems to have peaked, he was listed as a 'éditeur lithographe du roi.'
