Jacob Christoph Le Blon: A Name Echoing Through the Centuries from Doncaster in the Early 1900s to the Court of George II in the 1700s From the bustling racecourse at Doncaster in the early 1900s, to the grandeur of the courts of George II, King of England (1721-1724), and Louis XV, King of France (1739), the name Le Blon left an indelible mark on history. In the 17th century, Michel Le Blon, a German engraver, graced the title pages of Robert Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy (1628) with his intricate engravings. Fast forward to the 20th century, and the Le Blon name resurfaced as Hubert Le Blon climbed into the Gardner-Serpollet steam car in Nice (1903). The enigmatic Michel Le Blon's portrait, captured by Theodor Matham and Anthony van Dyck, adds another layer to this intriguing tale. A name that spans the ages, from the artistic masterpieces of the past to the technological innovations of the future, the legacy of the Le Blon family continues to captivate and inspire.
