He became famous as a punch-cutter, and for his mechanical skill. At the age of 66 he engraved a fount to which he gave the name of " microscopic, " and used it for the editions which he called "the microscopic editions " of the Maxims of Rochefoucault, and of Horace. This fount was a high achievement of the type- founder's art.
