Henri Foucault
Henri Foucault was a French merchant, sheet music publisher and stationer. His shop was located rue Saint-Honoré, under the sign À la règle d’or.
He was condemned for publishing and selling "Airs de musique" of which Jean-Christophe Ballard held the privilege.
On 15 July 1721, the widow Foucault, then remarried, sold the store and the funds to François Boivin and his uncle, Michel Pignolet de Montéclair, for their music publishing house established the same year.
Among others, Foucault published the works of Jean-Baptiste Lully, Marin Marais, Louis-Antoine Dornel and Nicolas Siret.
