Nicolas de Larmessin I was an engraver, elder brother of Nicolas de Larmessin II. His father was a libraire; he himself was apprenticed to Jean Mathieu in 1647. In 1654 he married the daughter of the print publisher Pierre Bertrand of the Pomme d'Or in rue St Jacques and took over his stock at his death in 1678. On his own death, the business seems to have been continued by his widow. De Larmessin specialised in portraits, often in series.
