This Roy was probably the father of the following engraver.

ROY, CLAUDE. Born in Paris about 1712. For many years he worked as an engraver, principally of portraits, which it appears he also sold at his own shop. “_Dessiné et gravé par Roy. Se vend à Paris chez Roy, graveur, sur le quai des Orfèvres._”

For some years he was compelled to desist from work owing to the failure of his sight, which, however, was restored to him, and on his subsequent works he alludes to this happy recovery. Thus on a portrait of Vinatier, he signs: “_Dessiné Gravé et Offert en 1743, par son très obligé Serviteur Cl. Roy, après le Recouvrement de sa veüe._” He only produced a few ex-libris, but these are of exceptional merit, and are much sought after.

He signed at times “_graveur sur tous metaux_.” He died at his residence on the Quai des Orfèvres in 1792, aged 80.

A nameless plate bearing the arms of Henri-Anne de Fuligny Damas, Comte de Rocheouart, etc., and those of his wife, Marie Gabrielle de Pons. As this Comte de Fuligny-Damas died on February 24, 1745, this plate must have been engraved before that date. It is a very handsome design, having, in addition to the two shields, a number of musical instruments within an elegant floral border. It is signed _Cl. Roy D. et Sc._ Reproduced in the “Archives de la Société Française,” March, 1894. With an article on Claude Roy.

He was born in 1828, studied in the Ecole des Beaux Arts, and was a graceful and humorous artist. He was appointed engraver to the Austrian Court, and was for some time curator of the Museum of Nancy.

An article on his works appeared in the “Archives de la Société Française” for January, 1894, with a series of book-plates he designed for his friend Gustave Droz, and he also engraved several plates for his own books--of these the most interesting was in imitation of a MS. of the Middle Ages, impressions of which were issued with the “Archives de la Société Française” for January, 1895, accompanied by a humorous letter from Mons.

This useful work on the subject of bookbinding gives biographical
details of more than 1,700 French binders, with their signatures

plates.

bindings. It also gives an alphabetical collection of mottoes with
the families to whom they belong, and a bibliography of the
Catalogues Rémois.

The information contained in this delightful volume is of the
greatest value to collectors of French Book-plates, and the
facsimiles are executed in the most artistic manner.

special interest.

FOOTNOTES:

[1] “L’Art Heraldique a comencé en France au tems de Louis le Jeune, qui regla les fonxions, et les offices des Herauts pour le sacre de Filipe Auguste, et fit semer de fleur-de-lis tous les ornemens qui servirent à cette ceremonie. On trouve avant lui des fleur-de-lis sur les Septres, sur les Couronnes, et sur d’autres ornemens Roiaux: mais on n’en void pas en des Ecussons. Il est le premier qui en ait fait son contreseel.”--_La Sience de la Noblesse._ C. F. Menestrier. Paris, 1691.

[2] _Toison d’Or_ was anciently the title of one of the great heraldic officials, of whom we find mention in “La Science de la Noblesse,” par le Pere C. F. Menestrier (1691), in these terms: “Car j’ai su par Messire Jehan de S. Remi, Chevalier, du tems qu’il fut _Roi d’Armes_ de la _Toison d’Or_, et l’un des renommez en l’office d’armes de son tems, que tous les Fils de France doivent porter semé de Fleurdelis,” etc.

[3] Gules--a red shield denoting courage, hardihood, etc.

“De Gueules, à six croissans d’or posés deux, deux, et deux surmountés chacun d’une Etoile de même; et une Etoile aussi d’or à la pointe de l’ecu.”--_d’Hozier._

[4] “If I lend you out, stop not too long away, but come back home, free from the spots or dogsears that only fools make. Do not get lost.”
