Pierre Fourdrinier
​(d. 1758)

Pierre Fourdrinier antique engraving
Pierre Fourdrinier (d. 1758)
 
Fourdrinier was a French engraver who worked chiefly in London. The majority of his output was small plates for illustrations used in books. Additionally, and on a larger scale, he engraved Nicolas Lancret’s Four Ages of Man and the plates for the folio The Villas of the Ancients.
According to Redgrave, he left ‘many descendants.’
