Notes
Based at 17 rue Serpente (1789–1799).
Jean-Baptiste Garnéry was the son of a labourer from Genevrières, Haute-Marne. He started working as a bookseller in Paris in 1789, trading in partnership with Denis Volland, then a publisher from 1790–1791, in partnership with Laillet (https://data.bnf.fr/fr/12255027/laillet/). He published Girondist newspapers, which made him a target for the riots of 9 March 1793, when his printshop was wrecked. He seems to have ceased publishing from this date, but remained active as a bookseller.
He went bankrupt in February 1811; nevertheless, he became a patented (licensed) bookseller on 1st October 1812, with his patent renewed on 11th September 1818. He was put on trial in August 1817, following a reputedly fraudulent partnership with J.-J. Laurens. Garnéry was still active in 1835, but retired before 1841. He died in Paris on 3rd April 1843. His son Jean-Baptiste-Alphonse Garnéry received his bookselling patent in April 1815 and also went bankrupt in May 1826.
