Jean Dominique Adam (29 December 1795 – 6 October 1842) was a French Archetier / Bowmaker.
Early life and education
Jean Dominique was born in Mirecourt, the son of Jean Adam (1767–1849), who started three generations of bowmakers. [1]
Jean learnt from his father, whose ability he surpassed, and then drew inspiration from Etienne Pajeot and Tourte. [2]
Career
The family were a big influence on younger bowmakers, and Jean Dominique's work was affected by those returning from Paris.[3]
"Both Jean Dominique and his son "Grand" Adam seemed to favour François Tourte's design (octagonal sticks) and thus produced a great many octagonal bows."[4]
Family
Jean Dominique's son Jean “Grand Adam” bettered his father's skills but moved to Paris, while Jean remained in Mirecourt until his death.[5]
