Very scarce (one ex. in Paris, Ste-Geneviève according to the collective catalog). Michel Van Lochom was an engraver, dealer and publisher of prints from Antwerp, where he was baptized on May 8, 1601 and where he learned the art of intaglio engraving in the workshop of Abraham Van Merlen (1579-1659). In 1622, he became a master in his home town. He moved to Paris in 1624 at the latest and married Marguerite Le Noir on November 13, 1625, daughter of the bookseller Guillaume Le Noir, himself a member of a dynasty of book printers who had been active in Paris for a century. Thus, like many Parisian engravers of the early 17th century, Michel Van Lochom belonged to the Flemish school whose representatives settled in Paris in large numbers from 1575 onwards, fleeing the civil war and the crisis that hit the city of Antwerp. According to F. Henryot, "Les Réguliers sous le burin de Michel Van Lochom (1635-1639)," in Revue belge de philologie et d'histoire, 2017.
