All the tapestries formerly bore on the selvage, or on the ground 
of the composition, the name of the chief of the workshop where they 
had been executed. Being thus given the names and the duration of 
active life of all the managers who have directed the Gobelins work- 
shops, it will always be possible to determine the origin of any piece 
that has been executed in this manufactory, and the approximate epoch 
of its fabrication. 
(a) Partner with his father in 1775. 
(b) Named director the 4th September, 1792. 
(c) Ketained, as also his father, as chief of the workshop in 1792.
