Adolphe Dubois
Born in 1826.
Died in 1862.
Adolphe Dubois was an engraver whose work focused mainly on the engraving of watch covers and plaques. Although little detailed information is available about his work, his involvement in these fields bears witness to a specialised craft specific to his era. Watch engraving, in particular, represents a delicate art that combines precision and aesthetics, reflecting the tendencies of nineteenth-century horology.
Dubois’s contributions to this craft deserve to be rediscovered in the context of the development of the graphic arts and horology.
