Notes

Guillaume Denné, also known as Denné jeune, was born in Herbitzheim around 1758 to Charles Denné, a bourgeois from Mainz. In July 1785 he married Catherine-Sophie Bégué (d. 1790), the daughter of a Parisian bookbinder, and was then active in Paris himself as a bookseller. He went out of business in 1799.

At the 1806 Exposition he was given a silver medal for the publication 'Histoire naturelle des oiseaux de paradis et des rolliers'.

It is likely he worked in partnership with his uncle, the bookseller Philippe Denné, in Madrid; Guillaume was also a bookseller there for Joseph Bonaparte, King of Spain between 1808 and 1813. He had married a third time in May 1801, and his wife Marrie-Marguerite-Laurentine (also known as Laurence) Schmitz became a patented (licensed) bookseller in Paris on 1st October 1812, most likely filling in for her husband while he was away. In 1837, the presence of a "Mme Denné", assumed to be Laurence Schmitz, was recorded in Madrid.

In 1848 he was replaced by his daughter Catherine-Clémence (also known as Clémentine) Denné-Schmitz, who became a patented bookseller on 19th June 1852 and was active in Paris until 1866 as "C. Denné Schmitz".
