The engraver was Bernard Picart, the famous
French designer. He came from a Protestant family.
His teachers were his father, Etienne Picart, Le Brun
and Jouvenet.
Bernard Picart displayed mastery of his art as a
youth. In 1710 he settled in Amsterdam where he
supplied engravings to booksellers and printers. It is
believed that about - 1,300 of his book plates still are in
existence.
His works were on many subjects and a large
number of them were on Biblical topics. His Jewish
topics, incorporated in "Ceremonieg des Juifs," was
the first volume of "Ceremonies et Coutumes Re-
ligieuses de Tous les Peuples du Monde" which • was
published in 11 volumes. His creations were among the
first to illustrate Jewish ceremonial observances.
