Marie Cramoisy, widow of Edme Martin, took over the printing house after his death in 1670. In 1677, however, she entrusted the printing to her son, Gabriel Martin, while she continued to run the bookstore. Books under the imprint of Chez la Veuve d'Edme Martin were published throughout the 1680s though, so clearly her influence endured, and she continued to work with her son and son-in-law, Jean Boudot.
