History

This firm was founded by Jean Antoine Meissonnier (1783-1857) in 1812. Absorbed the publisher Savaresse by 1835. In 1839, Jacques Léopold Heugel (1815-1883) became a partner. In the same year they bought the weekly music journal Le Menestrel, which had been started six years earlier by Jules Lovy. The name of the firm was changed to Heugel following Meissonier's retirement on April 20th, 1842.

His younger brother Joseph Meissonnier (1790–1855) also founded a publishing firm J. Meissonnier, in 1821.
