Charles Gavard (1794-1871) printmaker, engineer and inventor sometimes signed as “Gavard, diagraphe et pantographe” noting the two devises he developed to copy paintings. Beginning in 1838, Gavard dedicated himself to reproducing the French art from antiquity to 1830 at Versailles. In all, eleven volumes were completed along with an atlas and several supplements holding over 1200 plates. Gavard served as the publisher, editor, and overseer of all the engraved plates.
