[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 658689, member: 5833"]What KSW said!!! I'm just getting going for the day. Not sure I can take the shock! I feel let down by the BnF for not producing this one in a search for 'Mouhé graveur', when it did produce the 1881 volume where we got good info when looking for the Schmolls. I had seen the wine merchant. I would say the graveur & the nacrier are different people; the question is whether there were 2 nacriers or only 1 with 2 addresses. Good chance they are related: Mouhé is not such a common name; engraving shell and making things of MOP are closely related occupations. Not surprised to see the graveur of 1855 also worked with hardstone; the best of the shell pieces exhibit the degree of skill required. Bon. Mouhé. Now: more than one graveur? Or one with a variable way of writing J?[/QUOTE]
