Jean Le CLERC,printer-bookseller, publisher, and printmaker; geographer and map publisher. – Son of the Parisian printer and print publisher Jean III Le Clerc; older brother of the printer, bookseller, and print publisher David Le Clerc.
Baptized on August 16, 1560, he was the godson of the Parisian engraver François Desprez and the painter Jérôme Bollery. He was active as early as 1587. Between 1590 and 1594, he was likely a refugee in Tours, where he worked for the printer and bookseller Maurice Bouguereau. On December 20, 1619, he obtained a six-year privilege to “engrave maps of the provinces of France and portraits of the patriarchs and princes of the Hebrew people, along with their chronological history.”
He published, among other works, engravings by Jacques Granthomme, Pierre I Firens, Léonard Gaultier, and Thomas de Leu. He died in Paris in 1621 or 1622; by the latter date, his widow, Frémine Ricard (or Richard), is recorded as his heir. His son Jean V Le Clerc, also an engraver and print publisher, was admitted to the booksellers’ guild in 1618.
Le Clerc’s maps remain rare and are undoubtedly the first French maps of these regions.
