Life
The son of the etcher and engraver Jean Adam made his debut in the Paris Salon at the age of 18 . In the taste of the restoration period, he provided representations from earlier French history, from the revolutionary period and the Napoleonic campaigns . He showed dexterity in composition, but did not reach his more famous contemporaries Nicolas-Toussaint Charlet and Hippolyte Bellangé .
Later he turned exclusively to lithography . His printed pages fill 24 folio volumes in the copperplate engraving cabinet of the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris.
