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.
