[EXLIBRIS:31799] Re: Jonnard engravings



Not necessary as some engravings are not signed, but Jonnard did contribute
to the large folio 2 volume Dore Bible and Thornbury's translation of Fables
of La Fontaine as well as Milton's Paradise Lost, but there was only one
engraver for Dore's Don Quixote which was Pisan.
Hope this helps
