Les Musards de la Rue du Coq (Dawdlers of the Rue du Coq)
Pierre Nolasque Bergeret|Jean-Baptiste-François Bosio|Aaron Martinet
1805 · Hand-colored pen lithograph · Drawings and Prints
This pen lithograph describes a crowd of potential customers jostling one another outside Aaron Martinet's printshop on the rue du Coq-Saint-Honoré (now rue Marengo) behind the Louvre in Paris. As an engraver and publisher, Martinet was known for both social and political satire, operating a family business founded in the 18th century. Known for issuing colored etchings and aquatints, this print demonstrates his innovative experimentation as a publisher in the recently invented medium of lithography.
