Philippe Joseph Augustin Vallot (1796-1870) was a French engraver and printmaker.
Pierre-Jean David (1788-1856) was a French sculptor, medalist and freemason. He adopted the name David d'Angers following his entry into the studio of the painter Jacques-Louis David in 1809, as a way of both expressing his patrimony and distinguishing himself from the master painter.
In good condition, a few pencil marks in the edges of the image area (not affecting the image itself).
