Laurent Cars

Antique prints by Laurent Cars

Laurent Cars (1699–1771) was a leading French engraver of theatrical subjects, best known for the plates he made after François Boucher for a 1734 illustrated edition of Molière. This selection includes scenes from Le Dépit amoureux, George Dandin, La Princesse d'Élide and Dom Juan, all engraved in 1734.

The category suits collectors of eighteenth-century French theatre and of Boucher's decorative style. Every engraving is an original period impression, with a technical description and exact measurements.
