<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 3152092, member: 5833&quot;]As Anna says, Lamant.&nbsp; We just had a Lamant Teniers tavern scene cameo, which is now for sale on eBay.&nbsp; The owner of that one, member (f)loki, posted it here &amp; also contacted me through CameoTimes.com.&nbsp; Here is what I wrote in response to the query:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><blockquote><p>The name of this cameo cutter is Lamant, not Lamont, which is what spell check thinks it should be.&nbsp; He was actually &#039;<i>dit</i>&#039; Lamant, called Lamant.&nbsp; (L&#039;Amant = the lover.)</p></blockquote><p><br /></p><blockquote><p>Confusingly, an 1855 directory of Paris has 2 entries for <i>graveurs</i> named Lamant: one says &#039;Lamant (Julien)&#039;; the other says &#039;Lamant - Julliot&#039;.&nbsp; They are at 2 different addresses.&nbsp; An 1850 legal notice of bankruptcy concerns Amand-Victor Juliot, <i>dit</i> Lamant.&nbsp; An 1863 directory for Birmingham, England, has a Lamant Juliot &amp; Co.&nbsp; An 1865 legal notice is for the dissolution of the partnership between Lamant &amp; Charles Richardson, who are described as &#039;Stone Dealers and Cameo Manufacturers&#039;.&nbsp; We found no other record for a Julien Lamant or Lamant Julien, although there is so much variability in signatures, we did entertain the idea that there were 2 of them.&nbsp; Some signatures do look more like Lamont than Lamant.</p></blockquote><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
