"Robert Bénard (1734 in Paris – 1777) was a French engraver.
Specialized in the technique of engraving, Robert Bénard is mainly famous for having supplied a significant amount of plates (at least 1,800) to the Encyclopédie by Diderot & d'Alembert from 1751.
Later, publisher Charles-Joseph Panckoucke reused many of his productions to illustrate the works of his catalog." - (en.wikipedia.org 03.06.2022)
