Summary
A blank sheet of writing paper with the printed heading “M. de Robert & Cie, Bordeaux-Bègles, le … 189_”. In the margin, an engraved vignette of the “Domaine du Mercey, St-Émilionnais, par Gensac (Gironde)” and the telegraphic address “Derobert-Bègles”.
Why this document matters
A trace of a trading house and a wine estate under the name of Robert, in the Gironde, in the 1890s, kept by the family of Claude Martin, whose mother was a de Robert from Bordeaux.
Read with caution
- The link with Paulin Maurice Élisée de Robert, Claude Martin’s maternal grandfather, is not established: a hypothesis to be checked (trade registers, Bordeaux directories).
