Louis Fabricius Dubourg

He was a pupil of Gerard de Lairesse, Gerrit Rademaker (1672-1711) and Jacob van Huysum.

[1] Around 1726 he was practising foreshortening and may have been a member of an academy; he produced a lot of nude (art) during his life.

[2] When he married Eva de Kaarsgieter in 1729 he cooperated with Bernard Picart.

[3][4] After producing several beautiful pictures, some of which may be seen at the Westerkerk, the New Church and town hall of Amsterdam, he exchanged the brush for the graver, and executed some vignettes and other small compositions, and also etched a number of plates from his own designs.

He cooperated with members of the Stadstekenacademie, Amsterdam, as Jacob Folkema, François Morellon, Cornelis Troost, Simon Fokke, Michiel Elgersma and Pieter Tanjé, engravers.

This version presents the writers in alphabetical order , rather than birth order , and makes many corrections and additions to the text. Later editions after 1751 do not include the original titlepage plate.
