    Jacques Philippe Caresme was a French pastelist painter with a very supple talent, with a great elegance that recalls the best artists of the 18th century. He was also a very remarkable engraver.

    Gilles Demarteau, an engraver from Liège, is the creator of an improved process of polychrome engraving in the pencil manner borrowed from Jean-Charles François for whom he worked.the pencil manner, or "in the genre of pencil", is a process of etching derived from stippling. Its purpose is to get closer to the effect of the pencil when printed.

    Jean Baptiste Glomy was a Parisian expert, his specialty was the framing and mounting of drawings and prints. He had invented a new artistic arrangement, which consisted in tracing painted and gilded lines on the back of the glass. The technique was so successful that it was named after its inventor, and it was called "glomiser" or "églomiser" to frame a drawing or a print under glass in the manner of Glomy.
