Biography


The son of the Parisian bookseller Theophile Etienne Gide (1768–1837), to whom he would succeed, and of a singer in the chapel of the king, he studied harmony and musical composition at the Conservatoire de Paris. On 4 February 1833, he received the bookseller patent from the Maison Gide fils. He was a major printer of lithographs and financed the publication of six volumes, among them nineteen of the Voyages pittoresques et romantiques dans l'ancienne France by Charles Nodier and Justin Taylor.[1] In 1854, he was one of the first to launch the trend of salon operettas and artistic evenings.[2]
