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, princ.i.p.ally of portraits, which it appears he also sold at his own shop. "_Dessine et grave par Roy. Se vend a Paris chez Roy, graveur, sur le quai des Orfevres._"

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: "_Dessine Grave et Offert en 1743, par son tres oblige Serviteur Cl.

Roy, apres le Recouvrement de sa veue._" 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 Orfevres 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 Societe Francaise,"

March, 1894. With an article on Claude Roy.
