So, who was this man?
He was primarily the elder of (at least) three brothers, all three became lithographers :
- Claude (4 February 1802-deceased before August 1853) active in Torino. Apparently no male descendant.
- Jean Baptiste Sébastien (1er Nivose An XII or 23 December 1803 Bessans - 23 October 1873). Active first in Marseille (place du cul-de-boeuf) then from 1854 in Chambéry (10 rue Croix-d'Or). His wife's name Cayol is clearly from Provence rather than from Savoy. Both the newspaper's adverts dated 1857 & 1864 that I've posted previously are concerning him. He had 2 sons : Désiré Marie born in Marseille and married in Chambéry and Auguste born in Marseille. Both work with him and succeed him.

-Pierre Jean Baptiste (18 May 1815 Bessans - still unknown to me). Active in Marseille, Residing at Rue cannebière n°91. Wife from the Dévoluy. We learn thanks to his marriage certificate on the 22 September 1840 in Marseille that Sébastien, the father of the three brothers, died on the 30 August 1834 and was indeed a farmer.

How did the three sons of a peasant from a remote village in the Alps on the italian border come to learn the art of lithography, that's a question I still cannot answer. Until now I've found nobody in their early environment who could explain this.
