AUGUSTE de Labouïsse-Rochefort was born into the French aristocracy and suffered imprisonment, along with his mother, during the Terror. He was a published poet and writer of travel works and philosophical pieces. His marriage to Eleonore seems to have been a genuine love-match: what fortune he had was spent in helping her father recover from post-revolution losses, and his collection 'Les Amours, à Eleonore' was a celebration of married love. In later life he became a printer-publisher as well as an author, and would tell people he loved books more than money. On his death he left little wealth, but a library of 12,000 books. His daughter Hortense took over the running of his publishing house.
