Life
Aaron Martinet was born in Paris in 1762 as the son of the engraver François Nicolas Martinet. Trained by his father, he worked on his botanical publications. In June 1792 he married Madeleine Meirieu. In 1796, Aaron Martinet opened his own art publishing house in the Rue du Coq in Paris, where he published engravings, color prints, pamphlets and books. The window dressing was redesigned every fortnight. Pierre Nolasque Bergeret created an exterior view of the shop with Les Musards de la Rue du Coq in 1804 or 1805 .
Martinet became known for his satirical series of engravings with fashion and social caricatures as well as military depictions of the Napoleonic army. From 1822 to 1830 he gradually withdrew from the publishing house; he died in 1841. His daughter Suzanne-Flore ran the publishing house - together with Hermenégilde Hautecoeur, whom she married in 1822 - under the name of Hautecoeur-Martinet. The publishing house existed until 1880.
