Pierre Mariette (I) (1596-1657) founded one of the most prominent and long-lasting publishing houses in France. His son Pierre (II) (1634-1716), his grandson Jean (1660–1742), and his great-grandson Pierre-Jean (1694-1774) would all follow in his footsteps as engravers, publishers, and booksellers.
