Charles Dupuis (engraver)
Charles Dupuis (1685, Paris - 3 March 1742) was a French engraver, who based many of his works on the paintings in the galleries at Versailles and the Palais-Royal.
As early as 1712, he was in London, together with Claude Dubosc, to assist Nicolas Dorigny in his engravings of the tapestry designs known as the "Raphael Cartoons". He was elected a member of the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture in 1730.
His brother, Nicolas-Gabriel Dupuis, was also a well known engraver.

gollark: What if you add the registry as global (cross-computer) storage? That could not possibly go wrong!
gollark: That's discrimination.
gollark: Okay, so it's not used anywhere *now*, but what if I PR excessive use of it into CC:T?
gollark: There is no way that this can possibly go wrong.
gollark: I have a smart idea. I shall connect this "debug registry" to the actual potatOS registry.
