Jerusalem Comme Elle est Present<\/strong> was issued over about 50 years by various publishers, though all examples are rare; only few extant examples of any are known. The offered example bears the following legend lower left: “Fait par Aveline CPR, a Paris ches Charpentier rue St. Jacques au Coq.” This indicates that it was engraved by Pierre Aveline, and printed by \u00c9tienne Charpentier.\u00a0 It has been posited that Aveline based the composition on earlier views of Jerusalem. Originally this title was published in 1692 by John-Baptiste Crepy. It was republished by Jacques Chereau, in the 18th Century bearing the legend “\u00e0 Paris ch\u00e9s Ch\u00e9reau rue St. Jacques au Coq” with plate number “96” added in upper right margin. The offered slightly later\u00a0 — probably mid 18th Century print — was published by Chapentier, as successor to Chereau at the same address.<\/p>\n

Pierre Aveline was a French engraver, print-publisher and print-seller active in Paris. He worked with his sons, Pierre-Alexandre Aveline and Antoine Aveline. He is well known for his prospect views of cities, and his engravings of various subjects after various renowned artists.<\/p>\n

\u00c9tienne Charpentier was born in Ivry-sur-Seine, in 1704, the son of Pierre and Marguerite Bade. He was active as an engraver and publisher, succeeding in about 1739 to the renowned engraver and publisher\u00a0 Jacques Ch\u00e9reau, with a studio at Rue Saint Jacques au Coq, Paris. He is sometimes confused with another artist of the same name, working about the same period in Paris.<\/p>\n

Jacques Ch\u00e9reau (1688\u20131776) was a French engraver and print publisher renowned for his mastery in vues d’optique, a form of perspective prints designed to create an illusion of depth when viewed through optical devices. Ch\u00e9reau produced prints that captured the imagination of travelers and foreign audiences, often depicting European city scapes, historical scenes, and exotic locations. His prints were highly regarded for their technical innovation combining artistic craftsmanship with emerging optical technologies. His work remains an important part of 18th-century printmaking, offering a glimpse into the period\u2019s fascination with visual effects, architectural detail, and the representation of both real and imagined places. Chereau’s studio was Rue Saint Jacques au Coq, Paris. He was succeeded at that address in the mid 18th Century by the engraver and publisher \u00c9tienne Charpentier.<\/p>\n

Condition: Generally very good, recently professionally cleaned and deacidified, with light remaining toning, handling, wear, occasional pale foxing.<\/p>\n
