Charpentier, Étienne (sold)
Étienne Charpentier (August 13, 1704 - April 8, 1793) was a French engraver, printer, and publisher active in the early-middle eighteenth century. Very little is known of his life, beyond what survives of his work. He was bornin Ivry-sur-Seine, and died in Paris. His daughter married printer Jacques-Simon Chereau in 1760; he is likely to have taken over the business, although we see a number of Charpentier's plates passing to publisher Dumont as early as 1757.
