Notes

Blanchon took an apprenticeship at Victor Desenne’s bookshop in Paris in August 1786, and became a bookseller on 4th September 1787, thanks to a Council decree on 27 August 1786 that reduced his training period. From 1790, he was also a printer; from August 1791 until the Republican Year 8 (1799-1800), Blanchon worked with Laurent-Étienne Testu at a printing association and at his residence.

He was a patented bookseller by 1st October 1812. A “Madame Blanchon” was declared at his residence between 1813 and 1815. He is declared to have ceased trading on 14th December 1816. His bookseller’s patent was nevertheless renewed on 24th March 1820. An inspector’s report of the bookshop, dated 7th May 1821, indicates, ‘N’a pas retiré son brevet ; mort’.
