James John MERIGOT (1760-1824)
|
Specialist in 'manière de lavis' and later aquatint. His biography has to be reconstructed. According to the titlepage of 'Promenade ou Itinéraire des jardins d'Ermenonville' of 1788, he was the son of a Mérigot who was a bookseller in the boulevard Saint-Martin. He calls himself there Mérigot fils, 'peintre et graveur', and gives an address at rue basse du Rempart no.13. In 1790 he was publishing prints at Quai des Augustins, rue Pavée 38. At some undetermined point he emigrated to London where he signed plates J.Merigot.
(an 1806 aquatint after Pugin is inscribed M. Merigot. This is assumed to be the same man until further information comes to light)
